“Kuldeep is working hard enough, he has been brilliant. I think horses for courses is the best thing. And when Kuldeep gets a chance to play, he will show what he can do because I think he is bowling magnificently now. And in India, when we play four Test matches (against England) that’ll be his time,” Bharat Arun said.
Kuldeep Yadav last played a Test match for India against Australia in November 2019 against Australia in Sydney. The left-arm spinner had picked up a five-wicket haul in that match. Kuldeep has played only six Test matches for India and already has 24 wickets next to his name, including two five-wicket hauls.
