[Watch] "Beta papa ko mat sikhao" - Kagiso Rabada speaks in Hindi and explains how to travel in Mumbai local trains ahead of World Cup
South African bowling spearhead Kagiso Rabada recently showed off his Hindi-speaking skills in a reel on Instagram. He is currently in India to participate in the upcoming 2023 ICC ODI World Cup.
The Proteas contingent has set up their base in Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, which is the venue for both of their warm-up games. Rain spoiled their World Cup preparations by washing out the practice match against Afghanistan on Friday (September 29). They will next face New Zealand on Monday (October 2) in their second warm-up match.
Ahead of the match, the ICC shared a funny reel featuring South African pacer Kagiso Rabada on Instagram. In it, Rabada can be seen talking to two South Bombay locals. When they try to teach him Mumbai local train etiquettes, the Proteas star quips in Hindi:
"Beta, papa ko mat sikhao! (Boys, don't try to teach your father!)"
Rabada then goes on to show how to travel in Mumbai local, leaving the two guys even more stunned. The reel ends with the trio shaking a leg.
