IND Vs Eng, Second Test: ‘Kuldeep Yadav should bat at number 3’ – Bold advice from a cricket expert. Cricket news
The decision to play Kuldeep Yadav of India with XI for the second Test against England in Edgbaston has been strongly criticized, with former India’s former India Pesar Dodda Ganesh to one of the most scary reactions. Taking X, Ganesh commented, ,Kuldeep should bat in the top 3 for Uttar Pradesh in #ranjitrophy and get some runs, which should be selected to play for India in Tests. I do not see any other way that he can force to come back to this setup where someone’s secondary skill determines the team’s selection, Satire comment showed widespread frustration on India’s growing dependence on all -rounders at the cost of pure experts.
Kuldeep, who last played an exam against New Zealand in 2024, has shown only 13 Tests in only 13 Tests since the beginning of 2017, whenever he was selected despite a consecutive impressive returns. His omission has surprised fans and experts equally, especially the left-arm wrist-spinner took major wickets in recent matches and shown signs of being red-hot. Former Australia captain Aaron Finch also joined the chorus of criticism, writing: ,If Bumrah was fit to play, you definitely need to choose the best bowler in the world? If you are worried about taking 20 wickets, then at least a very least kulip should be in the Shee. Yes, he can be more expensive but he is the next best attacking option! , Captain Shubman Gill defended the verdict citing the need to increase the batting after the lower order collapsed in the previous test. ,We used to woo him a lot to play … but we wanted to add a little depth in batting,, Gill told Michael Etharton in the toss.

Do you think India is relying more on all -rounders in its Test squad?
But India needs to take 20 wickets to survive in the series, except Kuldeep, only the team’s selection strategy has intensified.
