29-year-old has been travelling with the side for all the matches, and as of now, it seems highly unlikely that he will participate in DC's upcoming contest against fellow strugglers Mumbai Indians on Sunday. There is no confirmation yet on when he will be ready to play again.
Electing to bat first, Crawley and Ben Duckett had to withstand some outstanding swing bowling from a returning Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj asking tough questions constantly.
England had a first-innings lead of 46, but Ashwin wreaked havoc with the new ball to pick his 35th five-wicket haul in Tests via a splendid 5-51.
South Africa has always been special for the Uttar Pradesh left-arm wrist spinner, who bagged 17 wickets in the ODI series back in 2018.
Kuldeep Yadav, however, acknowledged that India have a difficult task ahead of them this time due to the return of Steve Smith and David Warner.
Kuldeep Yadav last played a T20 game for India in January against Sri Lanka in Indore. He was part of India's ODI side which played New Zealand in Hamilton.
In the second ODI against Australia, Kuldeep dismissed Matthew Wade, Ashton Agar and Pat Cummins off consecutive deliveries.
Talking about the toughest batsman to bowl, Kuldeep Yadav said it's Steven Smith of Australia in Test Cricket and former South Africa skipper AB de Villiers in ODIs.
Sivaramakrishnan also had a quick word of advice for current Indian skipper Kuldeep Yadav.
