Ahead of the ICC World Cup 2023, players from all the 10 participating countries are having some fun time before the serious stuff begins on October 5 onwards. The World Cup will be hosted in India with the final to be played on November 19.
South Africa pacer Kagiso Rabada was featured in a funny skit with members of the Funcho YouTube channel and showed off his fluency in Hindi. He also revealed that he knew the etiquette and rules of traveling in Mumbai locals.
The interaction between Kagiso Rabada and Funcho members began when the fast bowler introduced himself as a player of South Africa, which led to the YouTubers shockingly claiming themselves to be from South Bombay (South Mumbai).
This led to the 28-year-old asking them, “Are you guys fielders?” The two boys respond: “Why?” the fast bowler took a cheeky dig at them by saying a popular Hindi phrase, “Tum fekte acha ho!” before reminding them that they are from Virar.

Both then say it will be fun to teach Rabada some rules of Mumbai locals to which the pacer replies: “Beta, Papa ko mat sikhao,” before he shows them how to get it done. Then one of them asks Rabada, where he actually is from and the pacer says: “Nalasopara” in a hilarious manner.
