Remaining-arm spinner Kuldeep Yadav has been in and out of the Indian squad considering the fact that they missed out on two editions of the T20 World Cups in 2021 and 2022 respectively. He must have heaved a sigh of aid when he was picked for the ongoing white-ball sequence in New Zealand.

Regrettably for Kuldeep, he at the time again had to hold out a further day to prove his mettle as he was benched for the 2nd T20I at the Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui on Sunday, November 20 as the staff management made the decision to go with two frontline spinners- leggie Yuzvendra Chahal and spin-bowling all-rounder Washington Sundar.

Apart from these two, even middle-get batter Deepak Hooda can roll his arms in excess which could have refrained the management from such a supplemental spinner in the form of Yadav.

Kuldeep Yadav hasn’t played a lot of T20Is in the latest instances

When Kuldeep Yadav and his good buddy as properly as spin bowling husband or wife Yuzvendra Chahal posted a social media photograph several times ago, enthusiasts felt that they would finally be capable to see ‘KulCha’ again in action in the ongoing New Zealand sequence.

Even so, that was not to be as only Chahal who was not picked for the overall T20 World Cup was given a prospect to verify a stage. He was involved in the actively playing XI as the only seasoned spinner. Kuldeep Yadav has been waiting around patiently for his opportunities regardless of ending as the fifth-best bowler in IPL 2022 acquiring registered 21 scalps to his title from 14 matches representing the Delhi Capitals.

Just like Kuldeep, even Sanju Samson had to warm the bench for this contest with Rishabh Pant getting picked in the XI as the very first-preference stumper. In the meantime, the followers ended up quite aggravated with the staff management who promised a whole lot about innovations and new dynamics with an eye on the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 that is scheduled to be held in the Caribbean and the United States.

Even so, they expressed their disappointment on social media as Kuldeep Yadav was benched for the next sport and created it apparent that they are unimpressed with this shift.

Below are some of the reactions:
