CHENNAI: It has not been a smooth ride for Kuldeep Yadav in international cricket so far. Despite his undeniable guile and penchant for scalping wickets at crucial junctures, Kuldeep is often unsure of his place in the Indian side, competing with fellow wrist-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal for the lone leggie's spot in limited-overs cricket.
On Wednesday, the left-armer moved one step closer to cementing his place in the XI ahead of the World Cup in October, picking up the vital wickets of David Warner, Marnus Labuschagne and Alex Carey in the middle overs to dent the Aussie middle-order and prevent them from running away with a huge score.
