Kuldeep Yadav
The chinaman’s career has been an absolute rollercoaster since the 2019 World Cup. He has been in and out of the team continuously. Kuldeep Yadav who was once a regular did not feature for his franchise Kolkata Knight Riders this season. It has been a downward spiral for him.
He will certainly be motivated to bounce back. India’s once go-to man for wickets will look to regain his lost form and cement his place on this tour. He along with Yuzvendra Chahal perform the ‘Kul-Cha’ partnership which has been very effective for the team. It will be a test of his ability this tour and with his experience, he is expected to perform well.
