The indian team is currently trailing by two to one in the five-match Test series between india and England. At this time, the fourth Test match is being played in Manchester. The pitch was expected to be favorable for spin bowling after the third day of this match. In this situation, many people have been insisting that kuldeep yadav should be used in this series, but Gambhir did not listen to them. kuldeep yadav made his Test debut in 2017. But so far, he has played only 13 Test matches. In total, he has taken 56 wickets. kuldeep has taken five wickets four times.
At this point, fans expected kuldeep yadav to be given a chance in Test cricket with Ashwin's retirement. But Gambhir has continued to deny him the opportunity. Kuldeep's childhood coach, Kapil Pandey, who has condemned this, said that the indian team should first decide whether they want a batsman or a bowler. If he is a bowler, his only job in the playing eleven should be to bowl. kuldeep yadav has played 6 Test matches against england so far and has taken 21 wickets. Not only that, he has also scored a century in the Ranji Trophy. If we talk about Kuldeep's batting, he scored 40 runs against bangladesh three years ago. I expected kuldeep yadav to play in all 5 matches in the england series. Because he had taken seven wickets in 5 matches in the Champions Trophy. He had also taken 15 wickets in the IPL series.

Not only that, he is also a player who has taken two hat-tricks in ODI cricket. He is suddenly dropped from the Test team. The reason for this is not known. If he wants to get a place in the indian team, he needs to take 5 wickets again.

But he has not played a single match in the england series yet. Whatever the condition of the pitch, kuldeep should be given a chance first. Look at how Warne has bowled and taken wickets on the english pitch. england does not have a leg-spinner. But you have a world-class leg-spinner. Bashir has also played three matches. But kuldeep has not played a single match. Apart from that, I am surprised to see our players losing matches due to bowling under Bashir. Anshul Kamboj, who has recently returned to england from india, is suddenly playing his first match. This cannot happen without the recommendation of the coach or the captain. Kapil Pandey has said that if a player does not play well in such critical matches, his cricket career will end.
