Keshav and Rahul’s fun time
The moment unfolded during Keshav’s arrival at the crease during South Africa’s innings at Boland Park in Paarl when the air resonated with the familiar strains of the song “Ram Siya Ram.” While it has become customary for this musical tribute to accompany Keshav’s batting appearances, the game witnessed a humorous observation from Rahul, who donned the wicket-keeping gloves for India.
In a light-hearted remark, Rahul quipped, “Keshav bhai, every time you come to bat, they play this song,” This amusing interaction added a touch of fun to the cricketing atmosphere, highlighting the camaraderie shared between players on the field.
