‘I am a huge Gary Neville fan. I met him after the game (2023 WC against SL) and told him that I used to watch Manchester United because of Paul Scholes. I spoke a bit too directly (laughs).

I told that after I finish my career I probably want to try being a football manager,” Kuldeep told Ashwin.
Kuldeep took 11 wickets in the World Cup for India the previous year. India finished the ICC event’s round-robin stage with a perfect 10 under Rohit Sharma’s direction. But India was defeated at home by Australia in the final.
