Kuldeep Yadav shuts down troll for abusive comment on 2023 World Cup final defeat: 'Is it about money or creating enmity?'

Fans and critics alike were abuzz once again, looking back on India's World Cup journey and pondering what might have been a magical victory on home soil. The team had been on a winning streak, securing 10 consecutive victories leading up to the final in Ahmedabad where they were the obvious favorites. Despite this, their hopes were dashed in a disappointing defeat to Australia, who easily chased down a modest 241-run target with six wickets to spare.

Despite his consistency during the tournament, his performance in the final drew flak, with some singling him out for India’s loss.

Unable to hold back, Kuldeep hit back at one particularly abusive comment. The post questioned his performance and wondered why no one had singled out the leg-spinner's figures in their criticism of the side in the final — an allegation the player found offensive.
