Our banter is different: KL Rahul on bond with Kevin Pietersen
KL Rahul said on the 2 Sloggers YouTube podcast: “Our banter is different. He is a great sport. He gives it to you also. There was this video, and there were two or three times where I said something, and DC posted it on Instagram. So, my wife was telling me, ‘Why are you being so mean? He is such a sweet guy.’”
