Kuldeep Yadav has been a key weapon for India in the spin department. He has bamboozled the world-class batsmen with his Chinaman bowling. Kuldeep along with another top-quality leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal who are famously known as 'KulCha' have been match-winners for India and have also been two of the valuable players for the Men In Blue in white-ball cricket since the last couple of years. While Chahal is a preferred choice in the limited-overs format, it's been a while since Kuldeep has featured in the white-ball cricket. The chinaman bowler was selected for the Test series but did not feature in the playing XI in the first Test against Bangladesh. However, it seems that the left-arm spinner has not given up hopes yet.

Kuldeep Yadav sweats it out during lunch break

When the players had gone back for lunch after a tiring first session, Kuldeep Yadav was seen sweating it out in the nets. Kuldeep came out to the middle along with Team India's fielding coach R Sridhar where they rooted two stumps and Kuldeep started bowling. The duo also got the company of the bowling coach R Sridhar and head coach Ravi Shastri. Shastri was closely observing the youngster's bowling as he stood in the middle while Bharat Arun was also observing him from a distance. The video of Kuldeep practising during the lunch break was posted on social media as well. Watch the video right here.

India set up a huge lead

India began Day 2 at 86/1 with two well-set batsmen Cheteshwar Pujara and Mayank Agarwal in the middle. Pujara registered a solid half-century before he lost his wicket and after the Indian skipper Virat Kohli was dismissed without troubling the scorers, Agarwal was involved in a 190-run stand with Test vice-captain Ajinkya Rahane (86) for the fourth wicket stand. Mayank proved why he is the most reliable opening batsman in the game's longest format for India as of now as he registered his second double century in Tests to put India in command.
