"I remember meeting Chahal at the breakfast table when I was selected by the Mumbai Indians. I had gone for practice and Chahal was playing at the DY Patil stadium.
"He gave me a lot of respect and the bond grew from there. He cares a lot for me and treats me like a younger brother. He gives me ideas about life and cricket. Whenever I have some problems he comes and talks to me that's why our chemistry looks so good," Kuldeep said.
The words from his teammate touched Chahal as he replied, "Pagle, rulayega kya?"
Chahal further talked about his life in the nationwide lockdown because of Coronavirus.
"In the first two weeks nothing much happened, but after that I spent time with family. Then I ordered some gym equipment and started working out regularly. I also participated in a chess tournament for charity, I also play with dad sometimes. I have a new house now and shifted in November. So the family time I was missing for the past 10-15 years, I'm getting to enjoy that now." he said.
