Fresh off his T20 World Cup triumph, Kuldeep Yadav sheds light on marriage plans
Kuldeep hinted at an upcoming marriage, assuring fans they will get the good news soon. Kuldeep also took the opportunity to address rumors of a Bollywood actress as his future bride, playfully suggesting that his ideal partner prioritises understanding and caring for him and his family, not necessarily a career in the spotlight.
"You'll get the good news soon, but it won't be an actress. It is important that she can take care of me and my family," told Kuldeep Yadav to NDTV.
Kuldeep Yadav: The Game-Changing X-Factor
Kuldeep Yadav emerged as a true game-changer for India's bowling attack after joining the playing XI during the West Indies leg of the T20 World Cup 2024. While the pace-friendly New York pitches initially kept him out of the first three matches against Ireland, Pakistan, and the USA, his inclusion proved instrumental in India's success. He finished the tournament with an impressive 10 wickets in just five matches. The left-arm wrist spinner's impact was undeniable. His spell of 2/24 against Australia in their crucial Super 8 match was a turning point, dismissing key batsmen like Mitchell Marsh and Glenn Maxwell. He further cemented his role as a match-winner with a spectacular bowling performance in the semi-final against England, weaving his magic with a spell of 3/19 that stifled the defending champions.
While Kuldeep couldn't replicate his form in the T20 World Cup final where he remained wicketless as India secured a historic seven-run win to end their 11-year-long ICC trophy drought. However, his overall contribution in the T20 World Cup 2024 was undeniable. Over the past year and a half, he has solidified his position as a key player for India across all formats, even emerging as a strong contender for the title of best spinner in the world. In just five games, the 29-year-old spinner picked up a staggering 10 wickets at a miserly economy rate of 6.95 and an impressive average of 13.95. This efficiency placed him among the top wicket-takers for India, ranking fourth behind Arshdeep Singh (17 wickets), Jasprit Bumrah (15 wickets), and Hardik Pandya (11 wickets).
