Kolkata Knight Riders mentor Dwayne Bravo found himself in an awkward spot during the franchise’s pre-season press conference when he appeared to forget that the microphones were live. The moment quickly went viral after skipper Ajinkya Rahane stepped in to alert him, turning a casual interaction into the most talked-about clip from the event.

At this stage, it is not clear who the people referenced in the exchange were, and it would be wrong to jump to conclusions based on a short video alone. What the moment does highlight, however, is how closely players, coaches and mentors are watched in the age of social media.
