South Africa pacer Kagiso Rabada was seen scolding the Punjab Kings social media team hilariously in a recent video. Rabada, who is in India to participate in the 17th Indian Premier League with his side Punjab Kings, was seen engaging in a funny conversation with the franchise’s social media team members. Apart from his lethal bowling attack, Rabada is known for his remarkable acting skills, which he recently put on display in the latest video posted by the Punjab Kings.
In the latest video, Rabada was seen being approached by content creators of the Punjab-based franchise, trying to create some video content with the pacer. As they approached Rabada and briefed him about what he would be required to do on camera, Rabada said, “Are you serious? This is the creativity you bring these days. You just want me to repeat some Punjabi words for some easy views.”
While it left staff members stunned and visibly startled, Rabada said, “Daffa ho ja yahan se kaamchor, daffa hoja. (Get out of here)” Rabada’s attempt to speak Punjabi left everyone in splits, and the video has been doing rounds since being shared on social media. Notably, Punjab Kings will kick off their IPL 2024 campaign against Delhi Capitals on March 23, Saturday, at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur, Mohali.
Notably, Rabada recently completed 500 wickets in international cricket in December 2023 and became the only seventh bowler from his country to do so. Rabada achieved the feat during the first Test against India in Centurion.
