The Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) have been playing the Indian Premier League (IPL) since it’s inception in 2008. They are also probably the most followed IPL franchise as well, a stark contrast to their IPL trophy cabinet. Now, even Kuldeep Yadav has trolled them, saying an RCB fan that the franchise needs an IPL trophy first. Interestingly, Kuldeep Yadav plays for the Delhi Capitals (DC), another franchise that has remained away from silverware.
Witty Kuldeep Yadav trolls RCB
Kuldeep Yadav hasn’t featured for India since October last year. He was having his rehab from an injury and thus was sidelined from any cricketing action. In the meantime, Kuldeep was doing his favourite activity aside from rattling timber—watching football matches. Also, he has attended a couple of football streams, during one of which he trolled an RCB fan. While chatting on a YouTube channel, Talk football HD, a fan asked Kuldeep, “Kuldeep bhai RCB me aa jao, ek goalkeeper ki jarurat hai. (Kuldeep bro, please join RCB; we need one goalkeeper).”
Reading this, Kuldeep was quick to respond with a witty humour. The southpaw, who has been retained by the Capitals for over Rs 13 crore, replied: “Tumhe goalkeeper ki nahi, trophy ki jarurat hai mere bhai. Goalkeeper kya karoge? (You don’t need a goalkeeper. You need a trophy. What will you do with a goalkeeper)?”
