Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) chinaman spinner, Kuldeep Yadav is yet to play a game in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021..  Despite putting up a good show in the opening fixture against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), KKR lost their next two games against MI and RCB. The Kolkata-based franchise needs consistency. That is clear to the team management, who are trying to get these issues resolved. The squad does have some top players who are yet to fire at their best.

However, the 26-year-old Kuldeep who recently got demoted in the BCCI contract reckons that he is hopeful about playing for the team in future games. Kuldeep said, “Only three matches have happened so far. I am hoping to get a place in the final XI soon, and I will perform well.”

When asked about the two most difficult batsmen he has bowled in his career so far, Kuldeep was quick to point out the names of Rohit Sharma and South African legend AB de Villiers.

Kuldeep explained, “I find it difficult to bowl against AB de Villiers and Rohit Sharma. De Villiers can smash the ball in any corner of the ground, while Rohit has plenty of time.”

KKR head coach Brendon Mccullum clarifies that Sunil Narine wasn’t fit enough to feature in the starting XI. Despite that, he will be considered when they play on different conditions in future games. Mccullum says fresh legs will be needed as the results have not gone their way as they wanted.

Descriving the same, McCullum had said, “Sunil Narine stood on the rope before our first game. It means he has had an injury where he was not 100 per cent fit. After three games, the guys have played well, we have not got the results, we probably would need some fresh legs for slightly different wickets in Mumbai.”
