Kuldeep Yadav with UP Chief 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 Hindi post on X, Adityanath said: “Today, a courtesy meeting was held with Kuldeep Yadav, member of the T20 World Cup winning Indian cricket team.” Spinner Yadav, a native of Kanpur, said on July 6 that the triumph was “an unreal experience” for him and expressed hope that he would be part of such successes in the future too.
India beat South Africa in the final on June 29 to clinch the country’s second T20 World Cup title.
Earlier, in an exclusive chat with NDTV, Kuldeep spoke about his marriage plans but hinted that he would not marry a Bollywood actress.
“You will receive good news soon, but you will not be an actress. It is important that she can take care of me and my family,” Kuldeep told NDTV in an exclusive interview.
The fans in Mumbai gave Team India a grand welcome. After Kuldeep arrived in Kanpur, he also received a similar welcome from his fans there.
Upon arrival in Kanpur, hundreds of fans came out to welcome their champion Kuldeep, who scalped 10 wickets in the 2024 T20 World Cup. Fans organized fireworks, dhols and music in Kuldeep’s honor.
