'Goes to Maldives mid-season': KL Rahul roasts Kevin Pietersen with cheeky 'mentor' comment - Watch

In the buildup to the much-anticipated Indian Premier League clash between Gujarat Titans and Delhi Capitals at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Saturday, a light-hearted exchange between KL Rahul and Delhi Capitals mentor Kevin Pietersen stole the spotlight — and the internet’s heart.
The Delhi Capitals' social media team posted a seemingly innocent video of GT skipper Shubman Gill greeting Pietersen during practice. The two exchanged pleasantries before Pietersen, with his trademark charm, posed a rhetorical question: “Bro, what’s a mentor? No one knows what a mentor is. Can you tell me what a mentor is?”

Just as Gill chuckled, KL Rahul — who was nearby, gearing up for the session — chimed in with a zinger that had everyone in splits.
Who's that IPL player?
“Mentor is someone who goes to Maldives for two weeks mid-season,” Rahul quipped, sending Pietersen into a smile as others around joined the laughter.
The Capitals’ admin didn’t miss the opportunity to ride the wave, captioning the clip: “Thanks, KL, now we know what a mentor does.”

After the video went viral, Pietersen replied to Rahul through a social media post explaining the role of a 'mentor' in a funny way.
"Mentor - The wise and sagacious guide of a cricket team who, through a mysterious blend of tactical genius and holiday planning, ensures the team is as adept at swinging bats as they are at swinging in hammocks. Known for the rare ability to teach the art of the perfect switch-hit and the secret to finding the best vacation deals during mid-season breaks. Often spotted with a clipboard in one hand and a travel brochure in the other," Pietersen wrote.

On the field, DC, under the captaincy of Axar Patel, will look to maintain their pole position on the points table, having won five of their six matches. Gujarat Titans, currently third with four wins from six, are hot on their heels and will hope to break DC’s winning momentum in front of a home crowd.
