Bangalore: Hardik Pandya Trouble is going on between (Hardik Pandya) and Krunal Pandya (Krunal Pandya)! Their relationship at the bottom? It’s not like that, but it’s a rumor IPL(IPL 2026) was heard between. Krunal was seen celebrating his brother’s wicket in an excited manner after Hardik was dismissed in the Mumbai Indians vs Royal Challengers Bangalore match. This incident fueled the fire of speculation. This time, Krunal himself opened his mouth about the speculation of the dispute between the two brothers.
On a show called ‘RCB Insider’ organized by RCB’s social media team, Danesh Sait questioned Krunal about his relationship with Mumbai Indians captain Hardik. He asked Krunal bluntly, ‘Is everything alright there or is there a fight going on? Sometimes Kane and The Undertaker (WWE’s famous Makey brothers) also wrestle occasionally.’ In response, Krunal very calmly replied with a slight smile, ‘Everything is fine’.

From Krunal’s exuberant celebration of Hardik’s wicket to hitting a bouncer during his batting and Hardik’s angry look at Krunal in response. Also, none of the usual pre-match or post-match banter, handshakes or hugs between the two brothers were seen in the RCB vs Mumbai match. As a result, rumors of conflict between the Pandya brothers were spreading. But Krunal, with his comments, completely poured water on those speculations.
Talking about the performance, in the current IPL, the last champion RCB is once again performing in a fast pace. Krunal Pandya’s team is currently second in the league table. He took eight wickets in six matches for RCB at an average of 22.50. He scored 13 runs in two innings. On the other hand, Hardik-led Mumbai Indians have yet to show their best form. Hardik’s captaincy has also been questioned. However, after defeating Gujarat in the last match, they returned to victory after four matches. Now let’s see if Hardik can take his team to the top of the league table or not.
