[Watch]: “Bohot kanjoos hai…”: Fazalhaq Farooqi’s Playful Dig At Rashid Khan Over Bat Refusal

The Indian Premier League (IPL) goes beyond cricket—it’s a stage for drama, friendships, rivalries, and unforgettable moments. During a Rajasthan Royals (RR) training session, Fazalhaq Farooqi cheekily reacted to his Afghanistan teammate Rashid Khan after a playful yet hilarious “bat saga” unfolded, adding another fun chapter to the tournament.

The unexpected moment during training

During a practice session before the much-anticipated clash between RR and Gujarat Titans (GT), Fazalhaq Farooqi approached Rashid Khan, seemingly asking him for his bat after Rashid had finished his batting practice. Farooqi’s cheeky remarks about Rashid’s so-called “miserliness” made the incident even more adorable and viral-worthy.

The Bat Exchange Drama

Fazalhaq Farooqi’s playful accusation. When Rashid didn’t hand over the bat, Farooqi was caught saying: “Abhi bolte hai deta hu. Sirf bolte hai deta hu deta nahi hai. Bohot kanjoos hai (Now he told he will give. He only tells he will give but never gives. He is very miserly).”

The Rajasthan Royals couldn’t resist sharing this moment. They posted a video on their X (formerly Twitter) handle with the caption: “Bat dedo yaaaar, @rashidkhan_19 bhai”

Rashid has always been known for his jovial and friendly nature. This moment just added another fun layer to his ever-growing legend in the IPL universe. Earlier this season, Rajasthan faced Gujarat in Ahmedabad — and it wasn’t pretty for the Royals. GT thrashed them by a whopping 58 runs.

Rajasthan Royals’ Struggles in IPL 2025

Rajasthan started the season strong but has now spiraled into free fall. They have suffered five consecutive defeats, dropping to 9th place with just two wins from nine matches. Rajasthan’s batting lineup has struggled with frequent collapses, while their death-over bowling has failed to close out games they had within reach. These issues have cost them matches they should have won.

Current Form of Gujarat Titans

Gujarat has dominated the season, securing six wins out of eight and solidifying their place as serious title contenders once again. Shubman Gill has maintained his consistency, while Rashid Khan continues to showcase his all-round brilliance. Their stellar performances have turned Gujarat into a well-oiled machine, ready to challenge for the championship.

The Upcoming Clash: RR vs GT in Jaipur

Gujarat has been one of the standout teams this season, making Rajasthan’s challenge even tougher. With six wins in eight matches and back-to-back victories, Gujarat looks unstoppable. For Rajasthan to overcome an in-form powerhouse and stay in contention for the title, they must address their weaknesses and bring their A-game to this crucial clash.
