Kuldeep Yadav Statement on Ravindra Jadeja: Kuldeep Yadav, a left -handed wrist spinner of India, said that playing on the same ground with Ravindra Jadeja is a great respect for him, he said that he is learning a lot from the experienced left -arm spinner and learning from the inputs that are being received from inside and outside the field.
After retiring from Ravichandran Ashwin’s Test, there is a possibility that Kuldeep will be a spin bowling partner with Jadeja. India also included off-spin all-rounder Washington Sundar in the spin bowling department on the England tour starting in Leeds from 20 June.
Kuldeep said on the third day of the Intra-Squad Practice match in Beckenham, “It is a great respect for me to play with Jadeja. Obviously, Jadeja and Ashwin have been performing brilliantly for the last few years. When I made my (Test) debut in India, he had helped me a lot. Still, I am talking a lot about how to bowl, Batting. “
He said, “I am really spending a lot of time with him. Not only on the field, but also outside. It really helped me a lot in terms of strategy and in terms of field placement, which we are talking about. He has given some signs. He is very important to me as a spinner. I have learned a lot from him. I have learned a lot. Hai. When I started playing cricket with Jaddu Bhai, we used to join Jaddu Bhai as a spin partner and I enjoy it very much. “
Kuldeep played only one Test in England at Lord’s in 2018, where he gave 44 runs in nine overs and scored two runs as a batsman and India lost the match, but this time, with great improvement in speed, length and bowling mindset, Kuldeep is ready to harass the England batsmen. When you play abroad as a spinner, there is always enthusiasm. It is important to know which mindset you are going with. I have always been an aggressive mindset. I always keep this in mind. I hope the wickets will be good. “
He said, “If you look at the circumstances, there has been a lot of sunshine in the last few days. If the wickets are good, the spinners can get help. I don’t worry much about the circumstances. But if you get a helpful wicket, it is nice to bowl.”
Asked about the wickets’ behavior for spinners in Bekenham so far, Kuldeep revealed, “In the case of spinners, the wickets are looking good. The wicket of the practice match was good for batting. The first day was a little moisture in the wicket, so the seams got a little help. But as the game moved forward, I felt that the balls for the spinners are blowing the ball at this wicket.”
Kuldeep said, “On the first day, when I put the ball in the first spell, I did not get much turn, but today is the third day and if I put the ball there, we will know how the wicket is, but all the practice sessions I have done, the ball is taking a little turn. I am sure that if we play this kind of practice, it will be better in the game.”
He ended his talk saying that bowlers are working hard in practice to understand the charge of bowling in Tests. “The number of bowling overs is very important. You will see that we have played T20 cricket for the last 4-5 months. Now we are going to play in the Test format and, so, I think the number of overs is very important. All bowlers are asked to throw more overs as much as possible. Fast balls are asked to throw at least 15-20 overs, so that our preparations can be completed for the Test match so that we can get the same. – The more we bowl, the better it will be. “
