Kuldeep Yadav absence from the Indian team’s lineup for the second test match against Bangladesh, which is now taking place in Mirpur, came as something of a surprise to many.
Kuldeep, who had returned to the Test team after a long gap during the series opener in Chattogram, was dropped from the team to make room for Jaydev Unadkat, who returned to the playing XI after a 12-year hiatus. During the series opener in Chattogram, Kuldeep had returned to the Test team after a long gap during the series opener in Chattogram.
In the first test, Kuldeep’s had taken eight wickets, including a five-for in the first innings. This was an impressive performance. In spite of this, the decision to remove Kuldeep from the playing eleven was not well received by the internet community.
In the second test match between India and Bangladesh, which took place in Mirpur, Bangladesh won the coin toss and elected to bat first.
KL Rahul, who is serving as the stand-in captain for India, gave the reason during the toss as to why Kuldeep was not included in the playing XI.
At the toss, Rahul remarked that it was a difficult decision to make about Kuldeep but that they were certain Ashwin and Axar could find spin and that they would bring Jaydev in to cover all of their bases.
