Kuldeep Yadav, India's left-arm wristspinner, has emerged as a crucial cog in the team's Super Eight campaign at the T20 World Cup. After sitting out the group stage, Kuldeep has made an immediate impact, claiming five wickets in two matches.
In India's comprehensive victory over Bangladesh, Kuldeep took 3 for 19, bamboozling the opposition batters with his variations. He dismissed Tanzid Hasan with a sharp googly, trapped Towhid Hridoy lbw with a straight delivery, and deceived Shakib Al Hasan with a slower, bouncing delivery.
Kuldeep's success in the Caribbean is no coincidence. The pitches in Antigua and Barbados suit his style of bowling, providing assistance for spinners. Kuldeep's experience playing in the West Indies during India's 2017 tour also proved invaluable.
Despite being brought into the side late, Kuldeep has not felt any added pressure. He approaches every game with the same mindset, focusing on maintaining his length and varying his pace.
Kuldeep's ability to bowl in the middle phase has been particularly effective. He has been able to stem the flow of runs and create wicket-taking opportunities. His success has been a major factor in India's dominance in the Super Eight stage.
Kuldeep's performance has highlighted the importance of having a specialist spinner in the team. His ability to control the middle overs and take wickets has given India a significant advantage. As India prepares to face Australia in the semi-finals, Kuldeep will be a key player in their quest for a place in the final.
