3 reasons India must play Kuldeep Yadav overseas more often
From strong away numbers to a skill set that no other Indian spinner can replicate, Kuldeep Yadav makes a compelling case for regular overseas selection.
3. A scarce skill set that travels well
Kuldeep Yadav is the first left-arm wrist-spin bowler to represent India in Test cricket, a distinction that makes him genuinely difficult to plan against. Bowling over the wicket to right-hand batters from the left-arm angle, he combines sharp turn with changes of pace and a well-disguised googly, keeping both edges and the stumps in play simultaneously.
On flatter pitches abroad, his trajectory, drift and variation create uncertainty through the air and off the surface, attributes that wrist spin can produce regardless of whether the pitch is offering assistance. His attributes make him a key strike bowler even in conditions where there is not much help for the bowlers.
