Spinner has always been the major influence in the cricketing world over the years. But, of late, the spinner category has been divided into two sections namely Wrist Spinner and Finger Spinner. But, then comes Kuldeep Yadav, who is altogether a different spinner, as he belongs to such a rare category called Chinaman. Meanwhile, he wants to learn from Yuzvendra Chahal regarding how to set up a batsman.
The introduction of Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal into India’s playing XI after the2017 Champions Trophy in England made a dramatic impact on the team’s results. The Indian team management is continuing with the duo, who are going to be key for Indian National Cricket Team in ICC World Cup 2019.
The last few years have been sensational for Kuldeep Yadav and Chahal in Indian National Cricket Team. They outsmarted top-class batting lineups to help India lift the trophies. And also, they got a great understanding to make things fall in the place for the Virat Kohli-led Indian side.
Yuzvendra Chahal is more experienced – Kuldeep Yadav
Meanwhile, in the latest interview, Kuldeep Yadav showered words of praise on Chahal and added that he wants to learn from Chahal over the batsman set up.
”Yuzvendra Chahal is more experienced than me. He has a very good idea of how to bowl to a certain batsman and I need to learn from him,” Yadav told reporters.
We need to alter the speed on the ball:
Further, Kuldeep Yadav quoted that they both share a good rapport, which would help them deliver the goods. Personally, Kuldeep is happy with his release points and wants to vary his speeds.
“I am feeling good about how the ball is coming out of my hand. Chahal and I could execute the plan we had chalked out against South Africa. We checked the flow of runs in the middle overs and also picked wickets. In England, the wickets will be flat and there won’t be too much help from the wicket. So we need to alter the pace of our deliveries and use it as a variation,” Yadav said.
Well, it would be interesting to see whether India can find both the spinners in the playing XI from the next game with conditions favouring fast bowlers. They need to look after the team balance in order to go for the duo in the playing XI.
