Everyone seems perplexed and disheartened to see Kuldeep Yadav getting dispatched to all parts of the ground, seeming like a shadow of his previous self.
He is a very likeable character, so there’s good reason to feel bad. But to understand his situation and what happened to him, we need to look back.
Kuldeep hit his peak in 2017-18 when he became an IPL regular and had an amazing overseas season for India. He was never a variation bowler – his strength was his stock legbreak and googly which, paired with the above-eyeline flight, was difficult to pick.
