Former India wicketkeeper Saba Karim has asked left-arm wrist-spinner Kuldeep Yadav to be understanding and be a part of the team as the latter aims to carry out return to the playing XI.
Last time Kuldeep Yadav was the player of the Indian team for the Australia series but did not play a Test. Even he also not at Gabba when both head spinners Ravichandran Ashwin, as well as Ravindra Jadeja, were injured, India preferred to hand an entry to Washington Sundar owing to his excellent batting skills.
Saba Karim said (at social media platform) that it would be a good time for Kuldeep Yadav to work on his game. He said in this respect:
“Be patient; work on your skills; keep working very hard. Keep enhancing your skill not only as a bowler but also a batsman. This is a time when you can work on your batting skills. Have a very strong presence in the dressing room. Always be there to help your colleagues.”
53-year-old Karim added that a player’s team energy is tested when he is sitting this one out. He explained in this respect:
“Team spirit is when a player who is sitting out still prays for his competitor who goes out to play for his team. That’s the real definition of team spirit. I have noticed on many occasions while playing first-class cricket that the player who sits out is not in a very happy frame of mind. He is waiting to get back on to the field to replace the player who is playing in place of him.”
When you don’t do well, reflect and gain experience: Kuldeep Yadav added
Kuldeep Yadav on Sunday said that he reflects on his mistakes when things go wrong.
His previous game was a Test match for India in Sydney in the New Year Test in 2019. The expert bowler picked up a 5-wicket catch in that match, but his wealth has nosedived since. With Jadeja out with an injury, the 26-year-old could get a possibility in the playing XI against England yet.
According to a video posted by KKR on its website, Kuldeep Yadav elaborated:
“At some point, you won’t do well, and that’s the time you reflect and gain experience so that you don’t repeat those errors in future.”
