In the draw, skipper K.L. Rahul called it a “tough decision” for Kuldeep. He called the wicket a “confusing pitch” and said he didn’t know what to do.
This is not the first time Kuldeep Yadav have not made the starting XI after winning a five-wicket hole. But here in the second test against Bangladesh, the absence of an unorthodox left-arm spinner, following the players in the match’s performance in the opening game, is the most surprising so far.
In the draw, skipper K.L. Rahul called it a “tough decision” for Kuldeep. He called the wicket a “confusing pitch” and said he didn’t know what to do. Left arm pacemaker He said Jaydev Unadkat was included “to cover all bases”, so R. Two spinner specialists, Ashwin and Axar Patel.
However, Bangladesh appeared to have read the wickets differently and entered the game with three spinners. “Maybe I didn’t read the wicket well (in Dhaka), but I didn’t read Kuldeep well (in Chattogram) either,” said James Siddons, Bangladesh’s hitting coach.
“I’m surprised he didn’t play. I think it was a pretty shallow wicket for a fast bowler. It’s more difficult against spinners because they roll and bounce. Ashwin has incredible jumps and spins. ”
“I hope our decision to play spinners is a good one. But Umesh [Yadav] has his four gates and [Jadeb] Unadkat has his two gates. “
With the pitch turf unusually covered and foggy on a winter morning, India probably needed her third sailor. Finger his spinner could also prove suitable for Ashwin and Axar, as wickets offer more buying opportunities than his Chattgram. And they’re both better hitters, too.But what message does that send to Kuldeep? “It’s part of the journey and it happened to me,” Umesh Yadav said at the post-match briefing. It’s good that we were able to leave
“It’s a 50/50 wicket. Weird ball kicked out of the back long, throws hard but doesn’t swing at all. Ashwin bowls the new ball and a few turn around.” But not so much with soft balls. Not for pacemakers or weirdos.”
