Watch: Kuldeep Yadav - India’s spin wizard in prime form ahead of the 2023 ODI World Cup

The Hindu  

Kuldeep Yadav is no stranger to setbacks Over the last four years — with multiple injuries, being sidelined by his IPL franchise, a career-threatening knee surgery and patches of poor form — the left-arm spinner’s journey in professional cricket has been nothing short of challenging He made a return from injury in February 2022, in the lead up to which he had made small tweaks in his technique and approach. Kuldeep spun his way to a crucial five-wicket haul against Pakistan in the Asia Cup, and followed it up with a four-wicket haul against Sri Lanka, helping him go up to 31 wickets in 15 ODIs in 2023 so far, making him the most successful Indian bowler in the format with a World Cup around the corner. Kuldeep helped stage India’s response with a four wicket haul for, showing why he is so well rated in the world In six years of international cricket, and 146 wickets from 87 ODIs under his belt including hattricks against Australia and West Indies, Kuldeep was still not a sure shot name in India’s contingent for the big showpiece. Kuldeep is India’s lone specialist spin option for the World Cup and if how unplayable he was against Pakistan and Sri Lanka is anything to go by, India has a real ace up its sleeve as it looks to regain the World crown at home
