‘Tactically, I am very strong. After Cricket, I am going to join some management. Big fan of Barcelona. I always go and watch Messi,” said Kuldeep.
“Leo is the best,” Beckham replied before the spinner said: “Big fan of Paul Scholes. After cricket, football is everything for me. Whenever you get the time, say hi to Gary Neville.”
