Indian captain KL Rahul was at his hilarious best during the ongoing third ODI against South Africa. The series decider between the two teams is taking place at Boland Park in Paarl.
As Keshav Maharaj came out to bat after the fall of Wiaan Mulder’s wicket, the DJ at the stadium played the ‘Ram Siya Ram’ song. India’s captain looked stunned by it and he cheekily went to the South Africa spinner and asked him whether DJ plays this song every time he comes out to bat.
In the video that has gone viral on the internet, KL Rahul was heard asking Keshav Maharaj: “Keshav bhai every time you come to bat they play this song.” Replying to which the Proteas spinner said: “Ya”.

Keshav Maharaj batted well in the game and despite losing wickets at the other end, he tried to stay there till the end but it couldn’t happen. He also survived a close call as he was given out lbw by umpire but he took the DRS and saved his wicket. He scored 14 runs off 27 balls before he was removed by Arshdeep Singh.
IND vs SA: KL Rahul makes a handy contribution with the bat
Indian captain KL Rahul, who slammed a vital half-century, played a decent knock with the bat in the ongoing game. He came to bat when India lost both the openers early. Although he didn’t score big, his innings at that time were much needed as it brought the team back on track.
KL Rahul added vital 52 runs with Sanju Samson (108) and bailed the team out of trouble when they lost both the openers inside 50 runs. The captain ended with the knock of 21 runs off 35 balls.
