From being an automatic pick in all formats of the game three years back, Kuldeep Yadav quickly fell down the pecking order after being dropped by the national team and even by his former IPL club Kolkata Knight Riders.
The 27-year-old, however, rediscovered his form this year for his new team Delhi Capitals in the IPL with 21 wickets. He made a national comeback earlier this year in the shorter formats and, on Sunday, took a hat-trick for India-A against New Zealand-A.
“To be honest, from last year after I was injured, understanding my rhythm was very important. Before I was slow in my run-up and I found it difficult when batsmen started picking what I was bowling,” said Kuldeep on his comeback journey.
