Gautam Gambhir again came under wraps, Aakash Chopra raised questions, said – This player is having trouble…

Indian team’s experienced spinner Kuldeep Yadav did not get a place in the playing XI in the first two matches of the ongoing ODI series against England. The 31-year-old left-arm Chinaman bowler played his last ODI match against Afghanistan in Lucknow, where he could not take any wicket. However, after Washington Sundar’s injury, it is now expected that he may get a chance in the third and final ODI to be held at Lord’s on Sunday.

Former cricketer and commentator Aakash Chopra has expressed displeasure over Kuldeep Yadav being continuously ignored. Taking on Gautam Gambhir on his YouTube channel, he said that justice was never done to Kuldeep. According to him, whenever there is a change in team composition or strategy, Kuldeep Yadav is the first to be shown the way out. Aakash Chopra believes that this trend has been seen on both domestic and foreign tours, while Kuldeep is among India’s most successful spinners in ODI cricket.

Statistics also support Kuldeep Yadav

Kuldeep Yadav’s ODI record presents a strong argument in his favor. He has taken 194 wickets in this format so far. His performance against England has also been excellent, where he has taken 14 wickets in nine ODI matches. His best performance has been 25 runs for 6 wickets. Despite this, he did not get a chance even in the recent Ireland and England T20 series. The selectors gave priority to Axar Patel, Washington Sundar and later Varun Chakraborty.

Ravichandran Ashwin also supported

Former Indian off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin also expressed his opinion in support of Kuldeep Yadav. He said that the team management and selectors should show more confidence in Kuldeep. According to Ashwin, Kuldeep is such a bowler who can change the course of the match at any time. He also said that if India wants the best performance from Kuldeep Yadav in the 2027 ODI World Cup, then he will have to be given continuous opportunities and full confidence.
