Indian spinner Kuldeep Yadav had the perfect response to a Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) fan who joked about the spinner joining the team as a “goalkeeper.” Known for its passionate fanbase, RCB is one of the most popular IPL franchises, despite its elusive hunt for an IPL trophy. Kuldeep, retained by Delhi Capitals ahead of the IPL 2025 mega auction, turned the tables on the troll with a witty remark referencing RCB’s title drought.

Kuldeep’s Savage Response
During a recent appearance on a YouTube podcast where he discussed his love for football and his admiration for FC Barcelona, Kuldeep found himself on the receiving end of some playful banter. A fan, under the alias “RCB Management,” used the Super Chat feature to joke, “Kuldeep bhai RCB me aa jao, ek goalkeeper ki jarurat hai. (Kuldeep bro, please join RCB; we need a goalkeeper).”
Kuldeep’s response was as savage as it was funny: “Tumhe goalkeeper ki nahi, trophy ki jarurat hai mere bhai. Goalkeeper kya karoge? (You don’t need a goalkeeper; you need a trophy. What will you do with a goalkeeper?)” The cheeky reply instantly went viral, leaving fans across social media in stitches.
RCB’s Elusive IPL Trophy
RCB remains one of the most popular teams in the IPL, despite failing to win a single title since the league’s inception. Their closest attempt came in 2016, when they reached the final but lost to Sunrisers Hyderabad. While the franchise has consistently reached the playoffs in recent years, the trophy continues to elude them. As the team gears up for IPL 2025, reports suggest that Virat Kohli is likely to return as captain.
Kuldeep Yadav’s Cricketing Return
On the cricketing front, Kuldeep Yadav is set to make a comeback to international cricket. The left-arm spinner has been included in India’s squad for the upcoming three-match ODI series against England and the Champions Trophy.
Kuldeep, who last played competitive cricket in November 2024 before undergoing hernia surgery, has been rebuilding his fitness and bowling workload at the National Cricket Academy in Bengaluru. According to reports, he has been bowling 10-12 overs per session and is looking to regain his rhythm ahead of the England series, which kicks off on February 6.
Kuldeep’s sharp wit and on-field skills continue to win him fans, making him one of the most admired players in Indian cricket today.
