Ashwin Highlights Kuldeep Yadav's Role and Challenges in India's Spin Attack
Ravichandran Ashwin discussed Kuldeep Yadav's challenges as India's third spinner, highlighting the difficulty of bowling with an older ball in Sri Lanka and the limited opportunities Kuldeep receives compared to Ravindra Jadeja and Manav Suthar. Ashwin suggested that Test captain Shubman Gill may not prioritize Kuldeep as the lead spinner, creating a challenging situation despite Kuldeep's maintained skill. He emphasized that Kuldeep's reduced role is not due to a decline in ability but team strategy and captaincy preferences.
