NEW DELHI: Kuldeep Yadav, who has played only eight Tests since his debut against Australia in 2017, is considered one of the unluckiest Indian cricketers in recent times. However, with the upcoming England series starting on January 25 and the potential use of "rank turner" pitches by the Indian team management under Rahul Dravid, Kuldeep might find himself on the bench, at least initially, in the five-match series.
Harbhajan Singh, the former India spin great known for his candid opinions, believes that while Kuldeep may have the edge in skill and quality over the Gujarat left-arm spinner, if the pitches turn out to be extremely challenging, there is no better choice than Axar Patel for the team.
