Kuldeep Yadav has become India’s main spinner across formats. Since making his debut, Kuldeep has been among top performers. His partnership with Yuzvendra Chahal is talk of the town with rival batsmen finding hard to score runs against them. Kuldeep was phenomenal in South Africa, England, Australia and New Zealand.
He is now all set to represent India in the World Cup, which will be played in England and Wales. Kuldeep’s emphatic display was lauded by none other than Indian head coach Ravi Shastri. He had clearly stated that Kuldeep would be given preference over Ashwin and Jadeja in overseas matches.
Meanwhile, in a recent interview with Sportskeeda, he revealed how he found it tough to deal with Neymar’s departure from Barcelona. In 2017, Neymar has joined Paris Saint-Germain for a world record fee of £200m. Kulddep also stated that he now supports both the clubs.
“It’s a very difficult question to ask”, Kuldeep Yadav told Sportskeeda. “Before, when Neymar was in Barcelona, I used to support them. Nowadays, I am supporting both PSG and Barcelona, because Barcelona is my team and Neymar is my player. So yes, I am supporting both. I want Neymar to be back in Barcelona again,” he added.
He further revealed that he cried for two days after seeing Neymar leave his favorite club. “You must have seen my Instagram post. I was literally crying for two days. I didn’t want him to go to PSG. Barcelona is my team, and I wanted him to stay at the club, and maybe create some more records with Lionel Messi,” he added.
