Team India spinner Kuldeep Yadav accurately predicted the final scoreline for the Euro 2024 Final between Spain and England on Monday, July 15. Kuldeep was in attendance to witness the Euro 2024 title clash at the Olympiastadion in Berlin.
Spain clinched the record 4th Euro title with 2-1 win over England with goals from Nico Williams and Mikel Oyarzabal in the 47th and 86th minutes, respectively. It was Spain's Euro triumph since 2012, where they defeated Italy in Ukraine's captain Kyiv.
However, Kuldeep Yadav was spot on with his prediction for the Euro 2024 Final between Spain and England. Speaking on Sony Sports Network ahead of the title clash, the left-arm spinner was initially hesitant to choose the winner but eventually predicted that Spain would win 2-1.
"Both teams are playing really well at the moment. Spain has been really well throughout this tournament. If they play like that, the way they played all the games, I'm sure they can easily pass through England." Kuldeep said.
"But, the final is always tough (to predict), but I am supporting Spain and I think they will go past England and win 2-1." he added,
Kuldeep Yadav is a supporter of Football Club of Barcelona or FC Barcelona and a big fan of Neymar Jr, who played for Culers from 2013 to 2017. In the 2023 ODI World Cup semifinal against New Zealand, Yadav met England football legend David Beckham at the Wankhede Stadium.

His performance came against Bangladesh, where he registered figures 3/19 with an economy rate of 4.75 in four overs.
