IPL 2026: Cricket players are often shielded 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 batter engaging in a witty back-and-forth with a fan that has left the internet in splits.
The incident occurred as Raghuvanshi was making his way toward the team bus following a training session. As is customary at IPL venues, a large group of supporters had gathered to catch a glimpse of their local heroes, with many pleading for autographs or personal memorabilia.
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 wave or a brief apology when they cannot fulfil such requests, Raghuvanshi chose a far more relatable approach.
Turning to 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 one cap.”
