    "editor1": "<p><strong>Lahore, June 16: <\/strong>Former Pakistan spinner Saqlain Mushtaq has heaped praise on Kuldeep Yadav, stating that the Indian tweaker has done really well in shorter formats in recent times.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Kuldeep was struggling for form before cricket was suspended in March due to coronavirus pandemic but according to Saqlain, the Chinaman has a big heart and is a very capable spinner.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;In shorter formats, Kuldeep Yadav has done really well. I like him a lot as he has got a big heart. I have spoken to him a few times as well and he seems to be a well-educated cricketer,&quot; Saqlain told Cricket Pakistan.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Kuldeep has so far played 6 Tests, 60 ODIs and 21 T20Is in which he has scalped 24, 104 and 39 wickets respectively.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Meanwhile, in the longest format, Saqlain gave his vote to Australia spinner Nathan Lyon but in home conditions, he feels there is no better spinner in the world other than Ravichandran Ashwin.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;Australia&#39;s Nathan Lyon has been doing well. He put up impressive performances against England and also against Pakistan and India. I think he is one of the best (spinners) at the moment,&quot; he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;There is no one better than Ashwin in home conditions. Ravindra Jadeja is also there in the longest format.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Saqlain was also asked to compare Pakistan white-ball skipper Babar Azam and India skipper Virat Kohli. Whilst he said it is unfair to compare the two, Saqlain stated that Babar&#39;s calmness gives him the edge over Kohli.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;Both are great players, with a great technique, and are mentally very strong. They have the hunger and passion to score lots of runs,&quot; Saqlain said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;Kohli is more aggressive while Babar is humble. Babar&#39;s calmness gives him edge over Virat Kohli if we look at what sports science teaches us.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;But comparing Babar with Kohli is unfair because the latter has been performing for a very long time, all over the world,&quot; he added.<\/p>\r\n",
