Jasprit Bumrah and Kuldeep Yadav have been included in India’s provisional 15-man squad for the ICC Champions Trophy, starting February 19 in Pakistan and the UAE.
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.
The spinning duo of Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal, who are famously known as 'KulCha', have been a dominating force for the Indian team.
Kuldeep revealed that when he went on to speak to Dhoni after the match and asked if he gets angry in such situations, Dhoni calmed him down.
Only a year ago, he was looked upon as India's best spin bowling option in overseas conditions, but a slump in form led to him losing that status.
Harbhajan thinks that playing both the spinners together would help India in getting wickets in the middle overs.
Yadav has been fairly inconsistent in his international outings of late and conceded 84 runs in his 10 overs and took two wickets in the first ODI against New Zealand on Wednesday.
