India’s captain, coach, and seniors have played a huge role in backing Kuldeep – Kuldeep Yadav’s coach Kapil Pandey

Kuldeep Yadav’s coach Kapil Pandey has revealed that Indian captain Rohit Sharma, head coach Rahul Dravid, and the senior players have played a huge role in backing the wrist spinner. Pandey disclosed Rohit Sharma and Rahul Dravid were in contact with the Uttar Pradesh spinner when he was recovering from the injury at the NCA.

Kuldeep had veered off the track and he wasn’t getting his opportunities to prove his mettle. However, the spinner kept working hard and he has reaped rewards for the same.

Yadav scalped eight wickets in the first Test match against Bangladesh and thus he was awarded the Player of the match. However, unfortunately, he was dropped from the second game as India picked Jaydev Unadkat in the team.

Furthermore, Kuldeep took 21 wickets in 14 matches of IPL 2022 while playing for Delhi Capitals.

Kapil Pandey said while talking to Sportskeeda, “When he was injured and was at the NCA, Rohit Sharma had supported him and naturally, Dravid has also offered the same support. So the captain, coach and even the senior players like Virat Kohli have a huge role in backing him and helping him make a comeback.”

Pandey revealed his pupil worked hard in the training to make a comeback at the top level. Yadav has been able to grab his opportunities whenever he has been given a chance in the final XI.

“Kuldeep has worked really hard for his comeback. We have worked together on his pace and he continued to put in the effort whether or not he was in the team. His efforts bore fruit as he got picked for Delhi in the IPL and then he picked up 21 wickets.”

“Kuldeep has never given up and found a way to make a comeback after the injury. We prepared in such a way that he was ready to play all three formats for India.

“The result of the same was seen in the Test series where he varied his pace really well and spun the ball both ways. The Bangladesh batters found it pretty difficult to read him and he picked up eight wickets.”

Kuldeep Yadav is part of the ODI squad for the three-match series against Sri Lanka.
