IPL 2026: Cricketers are often protected by security cordons and professional formality, a candid moment involving Kolkata Knight Riders’ rising star Angkrish Raghuvanshi has provided a refreshing dose of humanity. A video circulating on social media shows the young batsman engaging in a witty exchange with a fan that has left the Internet divided.
The incident occurred while Raghuvanshi was heading towards the team bus after a training session. As is usual at IPL venues, a large group of fans had gathered to catch a glimpse of their local heroes, with many of them asking for autographs or personal mementos.
A reluctant souvenir hunter
One particularly persistent fan was heard repeatedly asking the nineteen-year-old for his training cap. While most players typically offer a polite greeting or a brief apology when they can’t fulfill such requests, Raghuvanshi chose a much more relatable approach.
Addressing the fan with a genuine smile, he replied in Hindi: “Mummy kasam, ek hi cap hai,” which translates to “I swear on my mother, I only have this cap.”
