Subramaniam Badrinath faces backlash over 'die' joke on a cramping Krunal Pandya
While Krunal Pandya's courage under severe cramps won hearts,Ā Subramaniam Badrinath's ill-timed remark left a sour note on an otherwise memorable night for Royal Challengers Bengaluru's fans in Raipur as they beat Mumbai Indians by two wickets.
As RCB chased 167Ā against Mumbai Indians in the Raipur humidity, Krunal began cramping badly during his innings of 73 runs off 47 balls. The pain spread from his calf up to his glutes and eventually his back, leaving him lying flat on the pitch at one point while the physio rushed onto the field to treat him.
Mumbai Indians wicketkeeper Ryan Rickelton helped Pandya stretch and even crouchedĀ beside his opponent on the pitch to check whether he was all right.
