In the latest season of the Indian Premier League (IPL), Kuldeep Yadav has established himself as a champion bowler. Former Indian cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar lauded the chinaman spinner for his performance against Gujarat Titans and emphasised his peak form in the game.
Manjrekar’s Praise for Kuldeep Yadav
Manjrekar highlighted that Kuldeep’s confidence and skills have reached a new high. He compared the peak forms of bowlers like Yuzvendra Chahal and Jasprit Bumrah, asserting that Kuldeep now commands similar respect.
“Yes, and this is perhaps Kuldeep Yadav at his peak with regards to his skills, his confidence. You can see he’s out there like a Bumrah or Chahal at his peak. He is commanding that kind of respect,” Manjrekar said.
Manjrekar also noted that Kuldeep is embracing his role as DC’s strike bowler, delivering key breakthroughs during crucial moments in the game.
In a game against the Gujarat Titans, Kuldeep bowled an exceptional spell that demonstrated his excellent form. GT appeared to be in a strong position during their run chase, but Kuldeep’s four overs provided a game-changing performance.
Kuldeep claimed two crucial wickets while conceding just 29 runs in his spell. His ability to pick essential wickets, especially at critical moments, proved pivotal in helping DC defend their total.
Manjrekar Advocates Kuldeep’s Place in T20 World Cup 2024
Manjrekar emphasised Kuldeep’s ability to deliver when needed and argued for his inclusion in India’s T20 World Cup 2024 squad.
“So this is where Kuldeep has now become a champion bowler and he is somebody I mean that we should pencil down. Ravindra Jadeja will come in as a left-arm spinner batter and Kuldeep the second spinner,” Manjrekar stated.
Kuldeep’s consistent performances and growing confidence make him an asset for any team. As India prepares for the T20 World Cup, his role as the second spinner alongside Ravindra Jadeja could be crucial to the team’s success.
Kuldeep Yadav’s journey from struggling in the earlier IPL seasons to becoming a key player for DC and a potential star for India in the upcoming T20 World Cup is a testament to his hard work and perseverance. Manjrekar’s praise for the bowler highlights the significant impact Kuldeep has made and his potential to play a pivotal role in the future of Indian cricket.
