India vs West Indies: Kuldeep Yadav strengthens his case with fine display in Barbados

Kuldeep Yadav once again showcased his value in the Team India limited-overs set-up with a fine showing in the first ODI against West Indies in Barbados on Thursday.

Yes, many would have picked Kuldeep to come good against the West Indies, but little did they know that he would go on to decimate the hosts with impressive bowling figures of 4/6 from three overs.

At a time when India are looking to sort out their team combinations for the 2023 ODI World Cup at home later this year, Kuldeep, often competing with Yuzvendra Chahal for the spot, has taken a big lead in the race to be the No 1 wrist-spinner.

Not long ago, Kuldeep and Chahal formed the famed ‘KulCha’ duo in international cricket, but now, the two find themselves competing for a spot in the playing XI.

However, Kuldeep has said that the two are pretty relaxed with how things are at the moment.

“We are pretty relaxed. We know that combination matters a lot. We have a good understanding. He helps me a lot when I am playing. He always wants me to give my best. At the same time, I also share my opinions, when he gets the chance to play,” he said.

If you blinked, odds are you missed one of #KuldeepYadav‘s wickets from his spell of 4/6 in just 3 overs
