Ahead of the high-voltage clash between Lucknow Super Giants and Delhi Capitals in the Indian Premier League, a light-hearted moment between Rishabh Pant and KL Rahul stole the spotlight during practice.
Pant, now leading LSG, was seen sharing a warm hug and exchanging jokes with Rahul, who represents Delhi this season. Despite being on opposing sides, the two showcased their long-standing camaraderie, adding a human touch to an otherwise intense rivalry. The highlight of the interaction came when Rahul cheekily told Pant, “you’re out of the nets,” as the two trained separately at the ground. The remark carried a playful undertone, referencing Pant’s popular nickname “Spidy” a nod to his wicketkeeping agility, often likened to Spider-Man and his work behind the nets.

The moment quickly drew smiles from those around, underlining the mutual respect and friendship between the two Indian stars. Friendship aside, it’s game time While the banter reflected off-field warmth, both players will be fully focused once the match begins.
Rishabh Pant, leading a new-look LSG unit, will be keen to make a strong statement, while Rahul will look to anchor Delhi’s campaign with his experience.
Such interactions serve as a reminder that even in a fiercely competitive league like the IPL, personal bonds continue to thrive beyond team colours.
