Yuzvendra Chahal and Kuldeep Yadav interview: Team India's leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal is known for his witty style. He has said that he was the batting coach of Suryakumar Yadav, and now he has also become the bowling coach of Kuldeep Yadav. During an interview on Chahal TV after the second ODI against Sri Lanka on Thursday, January 12, Kuldeep Yadav thanked the 32-year-old leg-spinner for the advice he gave. Chahal said this in jest.
Left-arm spinner Kuldeep Yadav took 3/51 in the second ODI against Sri Lanka and was named player of the match. Thanks to his performance, India defeated Sri Lanka by four wickets at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata and won the three-match series 2-0. Kuldeep Yadav got a chance to play in the end slot of Yuzvendra Chahal. Chahal suffered a hamstring injury while fielding in the first ODI in Guwahati and was unable to recover from it.
What did Kuldeep Yadav say?
Kuldeep Yadav said at the end of the interview, “I would like to thank you for the advice. You played the entire T20I series and also played the last ODI. I was coming straight from Test matches to white-ball cricket. You gave inputs. Since you were playing, you knew how to bowl, so thanks for that. These small inputs are very important. Of course, we are not playing together that much these days, but the outside inputs I get from you are also very helpful.
