**PATNA, INDIA** – RJD leader and former Bihar Chief Minister Lalu Prasad Yadav’s son, Tejashwi Yadav, has sparked a flurry of reactions on social media after claiming that Indian cricket superstar Virat Kohli played under his captaincy in domestic cricket. Yadav, himself a former cricketer, bemoaned the lack of recognition for his own playing career, which he said was cut short due to injuries.

“I was a cricketer, and no one talks about it,” Yadav said in an interview with Zee Media. “Virat Kohli played in my captaincy – did anyone ever talk about it? Why don’t they do so?”

Yadav, who represented Jharkhand in domestic cricket, claimed that he and Kohli played together for Delhi. He further stated that many current Indian national team players were his batchmates.

Tejashwi’s statement has gone viral, with social media users offering a range of reactions. Some dismissed his claims, pointing out that he played only a handful of domestic matches. Others joked about his “dream11 cricket” career, referring to the popular fantasy cricket game.

While Yadav did play a few domestic matches for Jharkhand, he was also signed by the Delhi Daredevils (now Delhi Capitals) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2008 season. However, he never appeared in a match for the franchise.

The social media buzz surrounding Yadav’s claims highlights the enduring popularity of cricket in India and the fascination surrounding the lives of politicians. Whether or not his statement is factually accurate, it has certainly managed to grab the attention of the cricketing world.
