Kuldeep Yadav with UP minister Yogi Adityanath
T20 World Cup-winning Indian cricketer Kuldeep Yadav met Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath at his official residence in Lucknow on Monday. In a message in Hindi on X, Adityanath said, “A courtesy meeting was held today with Kuldeep Yadav, a member of the T20 World Cup-winning Indian cricket team.” Wrist-spinner Yadav, who hails from Kanpur, had said on July 6 that the triumph was “an surreal experience” for him and expressed hope of being a part of such successes in the future too.
India defeated South Africa in the final on June 29 to win the country's second T20 World Cup title.
Earlier, in an exclusive chat with DailyExpertNews, Kuldeep had opened up about his marriage plans, but he did reveal that he will not marry a Bollywood actress.
“You will get good news soon, but it will not be an actress. It is important that she can take care of me and my family,” Kuldeep told DailyExpertNews in an exclusive interview.
Fans in Mumbai gave Team India a grand welcome. After Kuldeep reached Kanpur, he received a similar welcome from his fans there too.
On arrival in Kanpur, hundreds of fans turned up to welcome their champion Kuldeep, who took 10 wickets in the 2024 T20 World Cup. The fans arranged fireworks, dhols and music in honour of Kuldeep.
