Krunal Pandya, an all-rounder for Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), has long been linked to rumors that he and his brother, Hardik, are feuding.  

The Pandya brothers also had the opportunity to square off on the field when RCB played the Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 season a few days ago.  

Fans attempted to read between the lines when videos of Krunal bowling to Hardik circulated on the internet; however, when asked about an apparent "fight" with Hardik, Krunal shrugged it off.

Appearing on the RCB podcast with Danish Sait, aka Mr. Nags, Krunal was asked amusingly if all is well between him and the Mumbai Indians captain. The southpaw confirmed everything was fine.

When asked by Danish, "All ok there, or some fighting?", Krunal continued to laugh before the host remarked, "Kane and Undertaker also fight sometimes."

Asked again, "All ok?", Krunal responded, "All ok."

Krunal also addressed claims that he sledged Lucknow Super Giants youngster Mukul Choudhary. He claimed that he was simply speaking openly with him, but his actions were misinterpreted.

"People were saying 'sledging a youngster'. I bowled to him, and on the first ball, he hit a paddle. I didn't sledge him, just said, 'Mukul, you are a young guy, you can hit sixes over long-on or long-off, hit me there.' He was laughing, it was just a joke. With my hairstyle, people think I am very serious and angry, but I am not," he said.

Krunal Pandya has been wonderful for RCB this IPL 2026, with 8 wickets in 6 games at an economy of 8.57.
