Tejashwi Yadav Takes Kohli's Name Amidst Criticism

Tejashwi Yadav Takes Kohli's Name Amidst Criticism

Former Bihar Deputy CM Tejashwi Yadav responded to political analyst Prashant Kishor's criticism who had called Yadav a '9th-fail'.

Yadav defended his past as a cricketer mentioning that Virat Kohli played under his captaincy and questioning why this is not recognized. 

He noted that despite his promising career, he had to quit due to ligament injuries. Yadav also criticized BJP-affiliated brokers and politicians who challenge him during elections. 

He had a brief cricket career with Delhi Under-19s and played one First-Class match and two List A games before joining Delhi Daredevils in the IPL, though he never played for them.
