Delhi Capitals' ace spinner Kuldeep Yadav lashed out at his teammate Mukesh Kumar for taking a shy at the stumps during the IPL 2024 clash against the Gujarat Titans on Wednesday in Ahmedabad. The video of the same went viral during the match, with the conversation being recorded on stump mic.
The incident occurred during the 8th over of the match as Rahul Tewatia bunted one to point, with the non-striker Abhinav Manohar running almost halfway down the pitch. Mukesh ran in and took a shy at the stumps, but Kuldeep wasn't impressed supposedly due to the possibility of the Capitals conceding overthrows. Skipper Rishabh Pant ran towards Kuldeep to calm him down.
Mukesh Kumar stars with the ball to blow the Gujarat Titans away for their lowest total:

Although the Capitals lost 4 wickets in Prithvi Shaw, Jake Fraser-McGurk, Abhishek Porel, and Shai Hope, the visiting side reached the target in only 8.5 overs. Rishabh Pant earned the Player of the Match award for his 16 off 11 deliveries and a couple of stumpings.
