KULDEEP IS A NEYMAR FAN

After his match-winning knock of 125 in the fifth ODI against Australia, Rohit Sharma traded his willow for a microphone as the Mumbai opener quizzed India’s latest spin sensation Kuldeep Yadav about his off-field interests and tickled his funny bone in a quick rapid fire round for BCCI’s official website.

ROHIT SHARMA: You have a huge fan following, especially women. How do you handle that?

KULDEEP YADAV: For me it is not a problem because I anyway don’t speak much so if I know someone for a while, I do have a small conversation. I am very shy. Haven’t been around women much. Even during school days the focus was more on practice. I can handle it but it’s not really tough.

RS: What do you do when you are not playing? What are your off-field interests?

KY: I don’t like going out that much unless it is with good friends. I prefer staying indoors and I love soccer. So even though I can’t play that well, I like watching it. I have had quite a few injuries as a kid and so I am scared of playing football. I have a simple life and I keep it that way.

RS: Time for some rapid fire questions! Your favourite actress? KY: Jacqueline Fernandez RS: One car you would want to own? KY: Mustang RS: Dream date destination? KY: Paris RS: A number you wish to have in your contact list?

KY: Neymar Jr. He’s my favourite and would love to talk to him or meet him.
