Former India T20I skipper Suryakumar Yadav recently spoke to Aakash Chopra. The 35-year-old is currently getting ready for the domestic season and is aiming to make a comeback to the national side.
Speaking about the incident, “We reached Colombo, and I told Kuldeep that he was going to play. We wanted a similar team that played in the Asia Cup, because the wicket was dry and I felt Arshdeep would find it difficult to take wickets. We had good spinners. Axar was there, and we also had Varun, so we needed one more wrist spinner," SKY said.
“Kuldeep was a little disappointed because there was a right- handed batter and he felt it was the right time to bowl. Meanwhile, I bowled Axar and even Tilak was given a chance. Hardik was also doing well. There was a catch which went to Kuldeep at long-on.
He ran very casually, and dropped it. And that’s when I got angry, because if you have to win, it was to be a statement win," Suryakumar Yadav added. “If he had given his full effort and then dropped the catch, it was ok, but he didn’t put any effort at all. Pacers were giving their best and toiling hard to take wickets.
When the game ended, we both glared at each other. It looked angry on TV, but in reality, all that was just banter.” SKY opens up on viral reel Two players then came together to make a reel on the incident during the course of the tournament. Fans loved the moment, and SKY finally opened up on it. “It was all cool after the game. All of us were chatting on the bus and also on the flight. Then we reached Ahmedabad, where the idea to make a reel struck me, because from my side there was nothing, but I wasn’t sure what Kuldeep was thinking. Then we shot this reel and asked the social media team to publish it to keep the moment light.”
