Krunal Pandya could not control his laughter when his rumoured tiff with brother Hardik was compared to the fighting between WWE wrestlers Kane and Undertaker. However, the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) all-rounder made it clear that the rumours of him not being on good terms with Hardik were just rumours and all was well between the brothers.

Krunal had made cheeky comments on Hardik after RCB defeated the Mumbai Indians in the ongoing Indian Premier League. Before that game also, Krunal, who is the elder brother, had taken a dig at his younger sibling. This had triggered speculations on whether everything was fine between the two brothers or not.

Krunal says 'all is well' with Hardik

Appearing on the RCB podcast with Mr. Nags, a funny character played by Danish Sait, Krunal revealed that all remains well between him and Hardik.

Nags asked Krunal why he did not give him an interview last season. To this the all-rounder replied that he was busy with some family members. "Sometimes there are a lot of family members in your house, so you miss some one," Krunal said in his response.

"Like your brother," Nags replied in a witty response alluding to his rumoured rift with Hardik. Both Nags and Krunal broke into laughter on this.

After this Nags asked: "All ok there, or some fighting?". Krunal continued to laugh before being told that, "Kane and Undertaker also fight sometimes."

To this Krunal further burst out laughing but also did not forget to respond saying: "All ok."

Kane and Undertaker, two of the most iconic figures in WWE, were shown as brothers in the storyline which became hugely popular all around the world.

Krunal's straightforward reply is set to end the speculations of a rift between him and Hardik. MI and RCB are on the opposite ends of the points table so far. RCB are at the second spot with four wins and two losses in their first six games while MI have two wins and four losses and are struggling at the sixth spot.
