'Goes to Maldives mid-season': KL Rahul roasts 'mentor' Pietersen - Watch

In the buildup to the much-anticipated Indian Premier League clash between

Gujarat Titans

and

Delhi Capitals

at the

Narendra Modi Stadium

in Ahmedabad on Saturday, a light-hearted exchange between KL Rahul and Delhi Capitals mentor Kevin Pietersen stole the spotlight — and the internet’s heart.
The Delhi Capitals' social media team posted a seemingly innocent video of GT skipper Shubman Gill greeting Pietersen during practice. The two exchanged pleasantries before Pietersen, with his trademark charm, posed a rhetorical question: “Bro, what’s a mentor? No one knows what a mentor is. Can you tell me what a mentor is?”

Just as Gill chuckled, KL Rahul — who was nearby, gearing up for the session — chimed in with a zinger that had everyone in splits.

Who's that IPL player?
“Mentor is someone who goes to Maldives for two weeks mid-season,” Rahul quipped, sending Pietersen into a smile as others around joined the laughter.
The Capitals’ admin didn’t miss the opportunity to ride the wave, captioning the clip: “Thanks, KL, now we know what a mentor does.”

On the field, DC, under the captaincy of Axar Patel, will look to maintain their pole position on the points table, having won five of their six matches. Gujarat Titans, currently third with four wins from six, are hot on their heels and will hope to break DC’s winning momentum in front of a home crowd.
But for now, it’s KL Rahul who’s taken the early lead — at least in the banter game.
