Kuldeep Yadav's Limited Playtime Under Coach Gambhir Sparks Debate and Support
Since Gautam Gambhir became India's head coach in July 2024, Kuldeep Yadav has played only 38 of 104 international matches, sparking debate over his role. Former spinner Ravichandran Ashwin criticized the team management's lack of confidence in Kuldeep, especially during the England ODI series where he was omitted despite key absences. Kuldeep's childhood coach Kapil Pandey, however, emphasized the spinner's resilience and assured that he remains a top performer ready to contribute when selected.
