Kuldeep Should Be The Surprise Match-winner For India Against England, Says Venkatapathy Raju
Though Kuldeep Yadav: Though Kuldeep Yadav has been an international cricketer for seven years, it does come as a bit of surprise that he’s featured in only 13 Tests so far. With a combination of loss of form, career-threatening knee injury and other spinners being around meant that Kuldeep hasn’t really established himself in the Indian Test team.
The last time Kuldeep played a Test match in England, he had a forgettable outing on a green pitch and rain-affected conditions at Lord's in 2018. He conceded 44 runs in the nine overs he bowled and bagged a pair as a batter, as India’s selection gamble backfired spectacularly.
Now with Ravichandran Ashwin retired, India need that cutting edge in their spin-bowling unit and all eyes will be on whether Kuldeep can live up to it when the series in England starts in Leeds on June 20. Venkatapathy Raju, the former India left-arm spinner, certainly feels Kuldeep can be the surprise match-winner in England.
