Suryakumar Yadav On Kuldeep Yadav Incident

In his explanation of the incident that went viral, Suryakumar stated that Kuldeep was already upset at not being given the chance to bowl throughout the game. The India captain then remembered how he was irritated by Kuldeep's careless attempt at a long-on catch, which resulted in the response that generated conjecture on social media. "The match started, and there was no time to bowl him. He was a little disappointed and wanted to bowl. I completed Axar's spell and then bowled Tilak, Varun, and Hardik. He was like, 'Meri bowling kyu nahi aa rahi hai?' There was a chance of a catch when he was at long-on. He ran very casually, and it was an easy catch according to his skills. He dropped the catch, and I got angry at that time. If he dropped the catch after making an effort, that's fine, but he did not put in any effort," Suryakumar Yadav told Aakash Chopra on his YouTube channel. Despite how the exchange appeared on tape, Suryakumar later stated that the apparent tension between him and Kuldeep was not a severe fallout. He disclosed that although both players were upset in the immediate aftermath, their responses were a result of their banter. "When we met after the match, we looked at each other in anger. He turned red in anger, and I also looked at him angrily. It looked like that on the screen, but it was banter. After landing in Ahmedabad, I got an idea about the reel. Sometimes it's good to lighten up the moment," he added.
