Kuldeep Yadav has been one of the pivotal contributors in the ongoing Test series against England. When the whole attention was on Ravichandran Ashwin, Kuldeep set sights on giving the English batters a run for their money in the Dharamshala Test.
The chinaman bowler let his ball do the talking not just in the fifth Test but also in the second, third, and fourth Tests. It’s always a painful feeling of getting dropped despite performing well and Kuldeep Yadav has been through this phase many times before, which has become quite normal for him.
He gets dropped due to team combination or the match situations, but never frets about lost opportunities and has made every opportunity count. Notably, he has taken Test cricket seriously over the years by focusing on the process of what lengths he should be bowling.
What sets him apart is his outstanding googlies that were, in fact, unreadable by right-handers at times. He has shown zeal and passion to give everything for the team, a trait that is crucial for any player representing the country. Without saying much, Kuldeep has performed well as a silent contributor, and sadly, he doesn’t get the accolades he deserves.
