Melbourne: Indian Cricketer Kuldeep Yadav, currently on a brief family trip to Australia, is excited about the upcoming five-match Test series against Australia in November this year. The matchup between the two cricketing heavyweights is expected to be an epic event.
Expressing his enthusiasm, Kuldeep said, “It’s great to be here at Cricket Australia’s headquarters and the iconic MCG. I’m looking forward to the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, and we’re anticipating a great cricket contest between Australia and India this year.”
Kuldeep also acknowledged the unwavering support of Indian cricket fans, stating, “India cricket fans always support the team around the globe, and I’m confident they will come in big numbers for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, especially during the Boxing Day Test.”
Kuldeep stopped at the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG). During his visit, the spinner posed for a photo with the statue of his idol, the late Shane Warne, outside the stadium.
Reflecting on the moment, he shared, “Shane Warne was my idol, and I strongly connected with him. I still get emotional when I think about Warnie – it feels like I’ve lost someone from my family.” This emotional bond with his idol resonates with many cricket fans, making his journey even more relatable.
Kuldeep’s visit to Melbourne also included a tour of Cricket Australia (CA) headquarters. Cricket Australia CEO Nick Hockley warmly welcomed him through an online interaction, making him feel like a part of the cricketing family. Cricket Australia presented Kuldeep with an overview of the upcoming Australian summer, highlighting the excitement as India and Pakistan are set to tour Australia this year.
The first Test between India and Australia will be played at Optus Stadium in Perth from November 22.
