Indian cricket fans are known for their passionate reactions to the national team’s performances. Be it celebrating victories or criticizing defeats, the emotions often spill over onto social media. On November 19, fans took to various platforms to recall India’s loss in the ODI World Cup 2023 final against Australia, which occurred exactly a year ago.
The heartbreak stemmed from a disappointing Indian batting performance, where the team was bowled out for 240 in 50 overs after losing the toss. Australia chased down the target comfortably in just 43 overs, powered by Travis Head’s magnificent 137 off 120 balls. The Indian players, including both batters and bowlers, faced heavy backlash for their underwhelming display in the high-stakes match.
Troll targets Kuldeep Yadav on anniversary of the World Cup final loss
A year later, the criticism resurfaced as fans revisited the final. Among the Indian players, spinner Kuldeep Yadav, who went wicketless in the match, was singled out by a fan on X (formerly Twitter). Kuldeep’s figures in the final read 10-0-56-0, despite having claimed 15 wickets in the tournament leading up to the clash.
The fan’s tweet mocked the spinner, stating that while most Indian players were being criticized, Kuldeep had seemingly avoided scrutiny.

Kuldeep comes up with a fiery response
Kuldeep, who rarely engages in online spats, chose to address the comment this time. In his response, he questioned the intentions of the troll, suggesting it could either be a paid comment or rooted in personal animosity.
“Hanji kis cheez ki dikkat hai apko, itna pyara likhne ke liye paise mile ya koi Jati dusmani hai?” Kuldeep replied, silencing the critic.
