Former Indian selector Sunil Joshi revealed he was surprised to see that nobody came to help Kuldeep when he was dropped from the team and was going through tough days. The 28-year-old, who once was the most destructive bowler along with Yuzvendra Chahal was going through a bad form and trying his way back into the Indian team. Kuldeep Yadav has become the most successful wicket-taker for India in 2023 so far with 22 wickets.
Sunil Joshi Said:
“I was part of the selection committee when Kuldeep Yadav got dropped. Who came to the rescue? None of the coaching staff, I was the one who got his delivery stride shorter, front arm better, arm speed better, got him to rip more revolutions on the ball,” Joshi told The Indian Express.
“Suddenly, everybody is talking about Kuldeep Yadav. Ravi Shastri asked Sunil, What have you done with Kuldeep? I said, ‘Ravi bhai I have not done anything special. These are the simple things that a bowling coach should be doing. If you look at Kuldeep 2.0, his front arm is nice toward the target, his bowling arm is towards the target, he is running towards the target. Shorter stride, there is a free follow through, he has got quicker through the air. You look at the way he is bowling now,” he added
