Kuldeep Yadav Rested in Warm-Up as Precaution, Not Due to Injury: Coach
India's spin bowling coach Sairaj Bahutule clarified that Kuldeep Yadav did not bowl in the second innings of the warm-up match against Sri Lanka as a precaution after a heavy workload, not due to fitness concerns. Kuldeep bowled nearly 20 overs in total, and the break was to assess his body's condition ahead of the upcoming Test series. Other spinners, including Ravindra Jadeja, Manav Suthar, and Saransh Jain, received extended bowling opportunities to adapt to local conditions and help decide the playing XI in Galle.
