Anil Kumble, a former All-Star spinner, expressed his support for Kuldeep Yadav’s selection to the Test team. Kuldeep has already established himself as a key player for the team, taking 34 wickets in the eight Test matches he has played, according to Kumble, who believes that Kuldeep should be given the opportunity to showcase his skills in the game’s longest format.
Kumble praised previous Test match efforts, noting that he had taken three five-wicket hauls in the few chances that he had. In addition, despite their prevalence in white-ball formats, the former spinner stated his concern about the dearth of wrist spinners in Test cricket.
He should unquestionably be there because he is an excellent bowler. Leg-spinners are very aggressive bowlers and it can be challenging at times because they also give up runs, but you need to bring one along with you and train him, and whenever you get the chance, you should use him, said Kumble in an interview with Jio Cinema.
“For Test matches, Kuldeep Yadav is a very capable spinner. He has consistently put on excellent performances whenever he has had the chance. Wrist spinners are prevalent in white-ball formats. We don’t get to see them all that often in Test matches,” Kumble said.
Anil Kumble suggests retaining Kuldeep Yadav alongside Ashwin, Jadeja, and Patel.
Kumble praised Ashwin, Jadeja, and Patel for their outstanding performances, praising both their skill as spin bowlers and their prowess at the plate. In order to emphasize the immense quality and breadth of India’s spin department, he further recommended that Kuldeep Yadav be maintained in the squad alongside them.
The second Test will take place on July 20 at Queen’s Park Oval in Port of Spain with India currently leading the series 1-0. The selection committee and team management frequently chose Ashwin, Jadeja, and Patel in spin-friendly circumstances because of their all-around abilities, so the decision about Kuldeep Yadav inclusion in the Test squad is still up in the air.
Kuldeep Yadav inclusion in India’s Test squad has been suggested by Kumble, which strengthens the argument for the team’s spin-bowling alternatives. Given his remarkable talent and track record, Kuldeep deserves consideration and might help India’s already potent spin attack.
