Sat Mar 22 16:10:00 UTC 2025: ## KKR Fans Troll Phil Salt After RCB Transfer: “Bewafa Sanam” Trends

**Kolkata, India** – The upcoming IPL 2025 season is generating buzz even before its commencement, particularly due to playful banter between Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) fans. The source of amusement? Phil Salt’s move from KKR to RCB.

Salt, instrumental in KKR’s championship win last season, has switched allegiances, sparking a wave of good-natured ribbing on social media. KKR supporters have taken to Twitter and Instagram, playfully calling Salt “Bewafa Sanam” (faithless beloved), a pun on the common Hindi term of endearment. The lighthearted trolling stems from a recent incident where a ball from KKR’s practice session landed in RCB’s camp, prompting Salt to return it with his bat – a moment captured and widely shared online.

The online exchange highlights the friendly rivalry between the two teams, with no ill-will expressed. The focus remains squarely on the upcoming match between the two franchises, a clash between a three-time champion and a trophy-less RCB. The rivalry dates back to 2008, when KKR secured a memorable victory against RCB in the inaugural IPL match, thanks to Brendon McCullum’s record-breaking 158 runs.

Both teams have released potential squads for the upcoming season, fueling further anticipation for the highly anticipated clash. The KKR squad includes notable players like Andre Russell and Rinku Singh, while RCB boasts Virat Kohli and the newly acquired Phil Salt. The playful banter underscores the excitement building towards the start of the IPL 2025 season.
