Anil Kumble Advocates for Kuldeep Yadav's Return to Test Cricket

Veteran cricketer Anil Kumble pushes for Kuldeep Yadav's inclusion in India's Test squad, highlighting his 'X-factor' as crucial for taking 20 wickets. Despite being sidelined earlier due to team dynamics, Kuldeep's dedication to refining his skills remains unwavering, making him a valuable asset for India.

Veteran Indian spinner Anil Kumble has put forth a strong case for the inclusion of left-arm spinner Kuldeep Yadav in India's Test cricket setup, citing the cricketer's unique 'X-factor'. Kumble believes Yadav's talent is integral to India's ability to take 20 wickets in matches.

Kuldeep Yadav, who is unwavering in his belief that rhythm is crucial to his performance, was notably absent during India's recent tour of England. His omission was not a reflection of his skills but was due to team combinations that emphasized batting depth.

Viewing the England tour as a learning experience, Kuldeep focused on self-improvement and analysis. The cricketer's dedication to honing his craft remains steadfast, with Kumble seeing him as an indispensable part of India's bowling attack despite a lineup crowded with all-rounders.
