‘To teri kyu g….d me dard ho rha h’ – Navdeep Saini’s brutal attack at fan after KKR lose back-to-back matches

Kolkata Knight Riders fast-bowler Navdeep Saini is in the news, but for the wrong reasons. On a social media post, posted by Saini, one of the fans had made some nasty comments on Saini’s personal life. 

In reply to the comment, the Delhi pacer had a very strong response to the fan’s disrespectful remarks. Saini, in his reply, seemingly abused the fan in his response. 

On field mein khel toh nhi pa rahe ho of field mein enjoy karlo 2 month aur ghr chle jao [You haven’t been able to play on the field, so better go off-field and enjoy at home for the next two months],” the user commented on an Instagram post, pointing towards Saini’s non-inclusion in KKR’s playing XI in IPL 2026.

“to teri kyun g…d me dard ho rha h [So why is it causing a pain in your backside],” wrote Saini in reply to a fan.

Interestingly, the ongoing season of the IPL 2026 has not been a fruitful one for the three-time IPL champions. They have lost both of their opening matches so far and are under immense pressure. Saini’s uncalled-for behaviour will certainly exacerbate KKR’s struggles.

The Delhi pacer was bought in by KKR in their squad for the IPL 2026 as a replacement player for injured pacer Harshit Rana. Saini was travelling with the KKR side as a net bowler before the start of the season and was rewarded with this opportunity.

“If I have to give this opportunity another name, I will call it revival. I saw many ups and downs in the last two-three years. But the important thing was to be there and keep working hard. Ever since I started playing cricket, I have relied on hard work. So I didn’t give that up and because of that, I got this opportunity. You can say this has revived me,” Saini had told KKR. 

In his 32-match IPL career, the right-arm pacer has picked up 23 wickets at an average of 42.33 and with an economy rate of 8.88.
