“Kuldeep Yadav Not A Certainty”
The former India captain continued, saying that Kuldeep Yadav could only guarantee his spot in the starting XI for the Cricket World Cup 2023 if he had a “brilliant” tournament debut.
On October 8, a game between Team India and Australia will serve as the tournament’s first match in Chennai. Former India captain Ravi Shastri has made a provocative claim before Rohit Sharma and company start their campaign for the world championship. Kuldeep Yadav, an Indian left-arm spinner, isn’t certain of his spot in the starting XI, according to Shastri. Only if Kuldeep begins the Cricket World Cup 2023 on a “brilliant” note, he continued, would he be able to secure his position.
“Flexibility is a must. I’ll take it a step further and observe my opponents while considering how they will approach different players. It also presents a constant challenge for the XI now that Ashwin is in the 15, Shastri told news sources.
“Unless he comes in and has a fantastic debut, Kuldeep is not a guarantee. Yes, Kuldeep’s performance is beyond dispute. He has recently resumed bowling at his best, but if the pitch is dry on a certain day and on a particular track, you would only want two fast bowlers because Hardik Pandya is also available, the expert continued.
The backbone of India’s slow bowling outfit in the World Cup and its best weapon is left-arm wrist spinner Kuldeep.
ODI cricket has seen a change in Kuldeep as a player since he recovered from his knee injury. He has greatly benefited from working on the speed and angle of his arms.
He became a key player in India’s victory at the Asia Cup by turning in a string of match-winning performances.
Rain forced the postponement of the Tuesday exhibition game between India and the Netherlands at Thiruvananthapuram’s Greenfield International Stadium.
Rohit Sharma and company have had a poor luck in the warm-up stage of the Cricket World Cup 2023 as their first match against England in Guwahati was also called off due to rain.
