Get fit, work hard in domestic cricket, return to Indian team and then retire as one of the greatest bowlers ever.
You have the potential to do it! 👍👍
The Kanpur-based cricketer has played seven Tests, 65 ODIs, and 23 T20Is for a total of 174 wickets across formats. Kuldeep last played for India in Sri Lanka with best figures of 2/48 in an ODI game and 2/30 in a T20 International. He played two more games during that tour -- an ODI and a T20I -- in which he went wicket-less.
Kuldeep Yadav on not being included in KKR's playing XI in IPL 2021 Phase 1
Before the resumption of the IPL 2021 Phase 2, Kuldeep Yadav had opened up on not being included in the KKR's playing XI for even a single match. In a conversation with cricketer-turned-commentator Aakash Chopra, Kuldeep Yadav had said, "In the Indian team they talk to you when you are not selected, but it does not happen in the IPL. I remember that I had spoken to the franchise before the IPL but in the matches that happened in the middle, nobody gave me an explanation. I was a bit shocked. I felt like there was no trust like they had no faith in my skill. This happens when the team has many options. KKR now has plenty of spin bowling options.”
