It is the proudest moment for any father to see his son play for India and he would do anything to be a witness to that moment. However, Kuldeep Sen’s father could not enjoy the occasion. Actually, when the news of Kuldeep’s debut came, he had left home to work on his salon. Rampal Sen runs a salon in the Subhash Chowk area of Rewa district in Madhya Pradesh.
Like everyday he left on Sunday morning. In this regard, he told The New Indian Express in an interview, ‘I gave non-stop interviews from 12 noon to 6 pm in print as well as electronic media. I didn’t watch the match so I can’t comment on Kuldeep’s performance. He said- I am getting old and these days people like trendy haircuts, so most do not come to my shop.
He further said- However, it is not about the money. I have come here because this is my ancestral profession and more importantly I cannot spend the whole day at home. I will reach home and talk to those watching the match. Please tell that in the first match, Kuldeep took two wickets while giving 37 runs in 5 overs. Afif Hussain became his first victim, while Ibadat Hussain was dismissed as his second wicket.
It is noteworthy that in this match the Indian team lost by one wicket. The Indian team had poor batting and could score only 186 runs. In response, Bangladesh also lost 9 wickets for 136 runs. However, Mehidy Hasan and Mustafizur Rahman put on 51 to give Bangladesh the victory.
