Speaking about his remarkable spell in the opening One Day International (ODI) match of three-match series between India and England, Kuldeep said, “Before the game I was nervous. Every game is important from now onwards. 6/25 couldn’t ask better than this.” Crediting his coach Kapil Pandey, Yadav added, “He is someone who is always helping me out whenever I am back home. The team has equally helpful. In NCA I speak to Hirwani sir.”
Stylish batsman KL Rahul also shared his thought on left-arm-spinners’ growth over the past one year and said, “One thing that has caught my eye is how over the past one year, Kuldeep has taken his fitness seriously and worked really hard on it.”
Agreeing to KL Rahul’s statement, Yadav said, “In U-19 I was 75 kgs. I was working hard on my fitness and that’s reaping the benefits.”
“The credit goes to my coach, Kapil Pandey. He is the guy who pushes me and works on honing my skills. Whenever I go back home, I work a lot with him on improving my bowling skills,” added Kuldeep.
“Coming to the team, there is Virat bhai, Mahi bhai, the players and the support staff, they continuously support me,” Kuldeep concluded.
