It is a well-known fact that several members of the Indian cricket team are also avid soccer fans and vehemently follow the sport. India captain Virat Kohli is known to be a big fan of Cristiano Ronaldo and once, in an interview, said he supports the Spanish club Real Madrid. On the other hand, Indian spinner Kuldeep Yadav is a big fan of Brazilian striker Neymar and supports Real Madrid arch rival FC Barcelona.
In a recent interview with Cricbuzz on his YouTube show Spicy Pitch, Kuldeep revealed a hilarious interaction between him and Virat about soccer.

“The first soccer game I saw was Brazil vs Spain in 2012, in which Neymar was playing. I saw him for the first time and thought he is a great player. His quality and skill level was too good. He is my favorite player ever since. Many people don’t like it. Me and Captain Virat Kohli discussed a lot about this, because he is a fan of Ronaldo, ”said Kuldeep.
“Yes, absolutely. My favorite club is FC Barcelona. Once, Ronaldo scored a hat-trick for Portugal. So Kohli came to me and was showing me a video. That night, Messi also scored a hat-trick.” So I showed it to him and said “look at this,” he added.

Meanwhile, in the same interview, Kuldeep also recalled his Test match debut against Australia in Dharamsala in 2017. “I am thrilled when I remember my Test debut in Dharamsala. The most important thing for me at the time was how to act. I remember that one day before the game, Anil Señor came to me and said “you will play tomorrow, you have to take 5 wickets”, he said.
Speaking about how he felt after getting his first breakthrough from David Warner, Kuldeep said: “It was my first test wicket. I felt really attached emotionally because I was almost crying. “
