During the ODI match between India and South Africa played in Paarl on Thursday, there was a brief conversation between KL Rahul and Keshav Maharaj about the song ‘Ram Siya Ram’ playing in the stadium, which is now going viral on social media.
In fact, every time Keshav Maharaj came to bat or bowl in this series, the song ‘Ram Siya Ram’ was played in the stadium. When the same thing happened in Paarl ODI, Indian captain KL Rahul asked Keshav Maharaj a question about it.
KL Rahul asked Maharaj, “Keshav Bhai, whenever you come, does he play this song?” To which Keshav Maharaj laughingly replied, “Yes.” The video of this conversation between KL and Keshav is now being shared widely on social media.

It is noteworthy that Keshav Maharaj is of Indian origin and has deep faith in the Hindu religion. There are many such pictures of him worshiping God in temples on social media. This is why even in South Africa, whenever Keshav Maharaj takes the field, similar anthems are played on the DJ.
The Indian team defeated South Africa by 78 runs in the Paarl ODI and won the three-match ODI series 2-1. This makes KL Rahul the second Indian captain to defeat South Africa in an ODI series at their home ground.
