Virat Kohli-led Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) faced a nine-wicket loss against Kolkata Knight Riders in their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 match on Monday (September 20) in Abu Dhabi. While RCB fans were stunned by the humiliating defeat, it was RCB pacer Kyle Jamieson who grabbed the headlines for ‘flirting’ with RCB massage therapist Navnita Gautam.
When the RCB score was 53/4, the cameraman panned to the dugout where Jamieson was sitting all padded up as he was slated to come in at no. 8. When the camera was on Jamieson, he was seen smiling looking at Navnita Gautam, who was sitting in the dugout.
As soon as the camera caught Jamieson smiling flirtatiously, the footage went viral and fans have been curious to know about Navnita.
