Kuldeep Yadav, IND & BAN Kanpur Test: The Indian team is currently playing two Test matches against Bangladesh at home, winning the first match by 280 runs. The second and final Test match of the series between India and Bangladesh will be played on September 27 at the Green Park Stadium in Kanpur.
India will sweep the series against Bangladesh once they win the second Test. Indian players have also arrived in Kanpur regarding the matter. Star spinner Kuldeep Yadav did not get a chance in the first Test of the series.
But India captain Rohit Sharma can give Kuldeep a chance in the last 11 of the Kanpur Test match. To win this game, Kuldeep must be used. Why is this happening? Let us know these 3 important reasons, knowing these 3 reasons you will also say that Kuldeep must be fed…
Kuldeep’s impressive record at home
Kuldeep’s record in India has been outstanding. He has played 8 Test matches here so far, taking 35 wickets. He also averaged 21.82 during this period. Kuldeep took 5 wickets in each innings twice at home. The most special thing is that the Indian team won all 8 Test matches that Kuldeep participated in.
There have been two such series during this period when the Indian team was in trouble. But Kuldeep was included in the eleven and then the series was captured. However, the Indian team has taken a 1-0 lead in the series against Bangladesh.
Strong performance against Bangladesh
The 29-year-old Kuldeep Yadav has played only one Test match against Bangladesh so far and he has a good record in this game. He participated in this Test in December 2022 in Chittagong. In this match, Kuldeep took 5 wickets in the first innings and 3 wickets in the second innings. India won the match by 188 runs. Kuldeep was then voted the man of the match.
Spinners get help at Kanpur venue
The spinners have been getting help at the Green Park Stadium in Kanpur. A similar situation is expected this time. Of the top seven bowlers with the most wickets on this field, only six are spinners. The average of all of these is also strong. Anil Kumble and Harbhajan Singh are the top wicket-takers here.
This time around, Green Park’s course report also tells us that the ball here will be slow and will be a low-turning track. In this case, the Indian captain has the option of using 4 spinners and 2 fast bowlers. Of these spinners, Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja and Axar Patel all have the ability to bat. Ashwin also scored a century in the first Test.
If captain Rohit doesn’t think so, then he can rest Akshar and give Kuldeep Yadav a chance. The reason is that Akshar and Jadeja are similar spinners. This combination will also strengthen the Indian team.
