Kuldeep Yadav acknowledges that being left out of the playing XI due to specific team combinations is something he has now become accustomed to and that he & fellow wrist-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal, who didn't feature in the first ODI against the West Indies on Thursday, are well aware of the significance of team combinations.
On Thursday, the Kanpur-born Yadav showcased his brilliance, taking an outstanding 4 wickets for just 6 runs in a mere three overs. This stellar performance played a crucial role in India's five-wicket victory over the West Indies for a 1-0 lead in the three-ODI series.
