During a recent episode of the Stick to Cricket podcast, former India head coach Ravi Shastri shed light on an interesting off-field side of Indian spinner Kuldeep Yadav. Speaking with Michael Vaughan, Alastair Cook, David Lloyd, and Phil Tufnell, Shastri shared a light-hearted anecdote about Kuldeep’s deep love for football, describing him as an “absolute buff.”

“You know in our (Indian) cricket team, you've got some real fanatics. I don't know who Kuldeep supports, but he is a football buff. Absolute buff. He can be an expert,” Shastri said with a laugh. “If he's not playing these Test matches, the topic inside will be football.”

Shastri’s revelation highlighted the growing connection between cricket and football among modern cricketers. Kuldeep Yadav, who is known for his crafty wrist spin on the field, appears to be equally passionate about the beautiful game off it. Although Shastri did not confirm which club or country Kuldeep backs, he emphasized that the 30-year-old spinner has an in-depth knowledge of football and could easily hold his own in a room full of experts.
