Team India captain Rohit Sharma on Saturday shared his views on the chances of playing with both Yuzvendra Chahal and Kuldeep Yadav together in the ODI series against West Indies which will begin from February 6 in Ahmedabad as well.

While speaking to the press on the eve of the first ODI at the Narendra Modi Stadium against West Indies, Rohit praised the two wrist spinners – Kuldeep and Yuzevendra Chahal – as “great performers” and added that playing them together once again will be on his mind in the upcoming series.

“Yuzvendra Chahal and Kuldeep Yadav have been great performers for India in the past, they’ve created great impact. They were left out due to different combinations we wanted, but it’s certainly on my mind to get them back together,” he said.

Notably, Kuldeep Yadav has been recalled for the first time in limited-overs cricket since July 2021 as well. The combination named KulCha had done well for India in the middle overs between 2017 and 2019 before both dropped out of the squad for their poor shows as India depended on finger spinners. Rohit Sharma however stated that he wants Kuldeep to settle in well as he has been out of the team for quite a long time and that he needs a lot of time to get back in form too. However, the series will begin from February 6 and will take place behind closed doors.

“We want to give Kuldeep Yadav time to settle in. He hasn’t played since a long time. It’s important to handle it carefully. He needs to play a lot of games to get his rhythm back,” Rohit Sharma concluded.
