In a video going viral on the internet, Kuldeep can be seen losing his cool at Rinku Singh when he asked about the price of a packet of biscuits.
Kuldeep Yadav is playing for Team India in the ongoing 2025 edition of the Asia Cup. In two matches played so far, the 30-year-old spinner has picked up 7 wickets and also bagged two back-to-back Player of the Match (POTM) awards. Ahead of Team India’s third Group A match against Oman, which is scheduled to take place at Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi on Friday, September 19, Kuldeep lost his cool at Rinku Singh.
In a video going viral on the internet, when Rinku, who is yet to make his Asia Cup debut for Team India, asked him, “10 wala biscuit packet kitne ka hai ji?” Kuldeep replied by saying, “Kya? Dimag wimag theek hai tera ki nahi?” to which Rinku first said, “Puchna toh padega,” and then added, “Garam ho rahe ho aap.”
Here’s a look:
Kuldeep is all set to feature in India’s playing XI for the third Group A match against Oman. During the match against Oman, he will have a chance to break the record of taking the most wickets in the Asia Cup for Team India. As of now, Kuldeep has 26 wickets to his name in 13 matches. He needs four more wickets to go past Ravindra Jadeja’s tally of 29 wickets.
