Kuldeep had a deep passion for cricket since childhood, and he couldn’t imagine his life without the sport.
During an interview, Kuldeep’s sister revealed that at one point, Kuldeep faced disappointment as he didn’t get selected for the Under-15 cricket team. This led him to express thoughts of suicide.
