Rahul told the official Twitter handle of Mumbai Indians, "I prefer doing the talking after the game if we win. I remember, in 2018, he teased me after his team had won. Last year, I teased him after we won. I will tease him again after we win. Hopefully, fingers crossed!"

While the brothers share a friendly bond when they aren't playing, they are extremely professional in the field. They both know their jobs for their respective teams and do not have a soft spot for each other during the game.

"We never really speak about playing against each other. We both know we have to give 100 percent for our respective teams. When I am up against him, I treat him like any other player," the leggie added.
