Question: Kapil Pandey is also the coach of Kuldeep Yadav, so what did you learn from the star player during training?

Question: How is your experience of training with Kuldeep?
Kamil: Kuldeep bhaiya remains serious during the training sessions. However, he also jokes around in the free team. He enjoys it. Like once he said that Kamil you have grown your weight, reduce your belly fat.
