FollowIn a recent social media revelation that has captured the attention of sports and political enthusiasts alike, Tejashwi Yadav, who is the son of former Bihar Chief Minister Lalu Prasad Yadav and an Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader claimed that Indian cricket great Virat Kohli played under his captaincy in domestic cricket.
Yadav, regaled his followers with a stirring account of his cricketing past, including his noteworthy role as the captain of Indian cricket luminary Virat Kohli during domestic matches, a fact that has been largely forgotten.
In a candid interview with Zee Media, Yadav lamented the neglect of his cricketing feats, asserting, "I was a cricketer and no one talks about it. Virat Kohli played in my captaincy. Did anyone ever talk about it? Why don't they do so? As a professional, I played a good cricket. Many Team India players are my batchmates."
Yadav recounted the abrupt end to his cricketing ambitions due to severe injuries. "I had to quit as both my ligaments were fractured. Let it be," Yadav reflected, revealing the personal and physical toll that curtailed his sporting aspirations.
His statement has gone viral on social media, and sparked a flurry of intrigue among cricket enthusiasts, who are now revisiting Yadav’s brief cricket career.
