KL Rahul Trolls Kevin Pietersen: “The mentor is a man who went to the Maldives for two weeks, mid-season” – Watch Video | Cricket News
IPL 2025: The Delhi Capitals are in a near-perfect match in the ongoing IPL 2025 season. With five wins in six games, the team currently led by Axar Patel is comfortably located on the standings. They have been shooting all cylinders, bowling and batting, and every player is stepping up at the critical moment. Their dominant form makes them a strong contender for the playoffs, if not the title itself.
KL Rahul’s Maldives Joke Divides Pietersen and Fans
Optimism in DC camp is also visible outside the field. DC Wicketkeeper Kl Rahul playfully digs the team’s mentor Kevin Pietersen during a relaxing moment in a practice match in Ahmedabad.
Peterson was chatting with Gujarat Titans Captain Shubman Gill and jokingly asked Gill to explain what the mentor did, Rahul stood nearby, hanging out, saying:
“The mentor is someone who went to Maldives for two weeks in the middle of the season.”
Thank you KL, now we know what the tutor will do pic.twitter.com/jxwsvjbfqs

The witty comment is a clear thrust by Pietersen, who went to the Maldives shortly after he beat Chennai Super Kings in DC on April 5. The Briton missed the team’s next match against Royal Challenger Bengaluru on April 10.
This sentence splits Pietersen and others, showing the great chemistry and relaxing atmosphere in DC Camp.
Mitchell Starc vs siraj: The key battle on the desktop
On the court, a high-stakes game awaits them on Saturday against the Gujarat Titans as DC players enjoy the off-court bond. It promises to be a top thriller with both teams doing well.
The point is Mitchell Starc’s death glory. The Australian racer is a key figure in Washington, D.C. success, especially after his super win against Rajasthan Royals. Starc played three near-perfect balls, including a nervous super end, showing his mastery under pressure.
Starc, with just over 10 wickets in an economy, led the charges in the PACE department with support from Mukesh Kumar and Mohit Sharma. His battle with Shubman Gill, Sai Sudharsan and Ashes rival Jos Buttler will be a key part of the game.
Both teams are full of firepower, and the Narendra Modi Stadium game is expected to be a cookie. For DC, another win will further strengthen their playoff goal, while the Gujarat Titans will aim to end their momentum and put their claims at the top of the list.
