Former Indian spinner and current commentator Murali Kartik became the subject of social media discussion after a humorous slip of the tongue during the toss for the IND vs NZ 2nd T20I 2026. While introducing the match at the Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Stadium, Kartik mistakenly referred to the host city, Raipur, as "Raichur," a city located in the South Indian state of Karnataka. The error occurred as Kartik stood alongside captains Suryakumar Yadav and Mitchell Santner to conduct the official toss. The veteran broadcaster’s verbal mix-up was immediately spotted by viewers, with clips of the moment circulating rapidly across various digital platforms.
