But in yesterday’s RCB podcast, Krunal confirmed it all amid rising talks of a possible Hardik Pandya-Krunal Pandya fight.
Krunal Pandya Interview on RCB Podcast
As per the Hindustan Times, the interview was hosted by Danish Sait, popularly known as Mr. Nags. He started the interview by saying, “Last year we invited you to a show, but you didn’t take it up.” Krunal replied with a smile on his face and said, “I was with my RCB family.”
Later, Mr. Nags says, “So because you were with your RCB family, you couldn’t meet me, another RCB member.” Krunal replied to that and said, “Sometimes when you are with your RCB family, you have a lot of family members, but then you also miss some (referring to the interviewer).” On this, Mr. Nags replied with a laugh, “Like your brother.” Lastly, they both laughed a lot.
Later, Mr. Nags asked him, “All good there, or any fighting?” In this Krunal Pandya interview, he replied, “Even Kane and Undertaker fight sometimes” (this is a reference to WWE legends, where Kane and Undertaker were known as brothers of destruction) and also said, “All okay.”
