Do you believe that Kuldeep Yadav can become India’s major spinner in the upcoming test series against England?
“Australia always played the role of Shane Warne on full green-top surfaces. I am not saying that Kuldeep is Shane Warne, but the surface of greenery, there is a better chance for him to take wickets. There is a mentality to attack with a ball towards England. They sometimes do wild hitching, and on a surface, where the pace is added to the coolie, it is added.
In England, an inexperienced Indian team has a big challenge under a new captain with a five -match Test series, Kuldeep will have to step. According to Kapil, Kuldeep is oozing with confidence, and most importantly, he is taking advice of his Idol Warne, who told him ahead of the Sydney Test in 2019, told him, “I don’t care, but you bowl, just have a smile on your face.”Pandey said, “Even if he can do even 50 percent, what Shane Warne has done in England will win the series.”
