RCB vs MI, IPL 2026: Former Chennai Super Kings cricketer Subramaniam Badrinath has found himself in trouble over his shocking comments for Krunal Pandya during the game at Raipur on Sunday. Badrinath is currently part of the official broadcast team. The former cricketer made a remark on Krunal that has not gone down well with fans. Krunal got hit as he missed the ball and was on the floor grimacing in pain.

That is when MI's Ryan Rickleton came in with a helping hand before the RCB medical team rushed in. Badrinath, who was on broadcast, asked MI players to let him die with cramps. It is appalling to see a former cricketer praying for someone’s death on live TV just because a team is performing well. For the unversed, this was said on Tamil commentary. Here is the clip.

Soon after he made the comment, he was brutally trolled.

This is Subramaniam Badrinath
- He's an ex csk player
- Hates rcb and Kohli to the core

Today when Krunal was struggling with pain, he said "just let him die there" in tamil commentary. Later on he covered up that statement by saying he was just joking as he wants rcb to lose.… pic.twitter.com/VuwyOhLjx0

@StarSportsIndia @IPL please kick @s_badrinath out of the commentary box. He is one useless piece of shit.

It would now be interesting to see if he gets punished or gets away with the shocking remarks. Krunal was the star of the show as his brilliant 46-ball 73 helped RCB get over the line in a tricky chase.
