Ex-India chief selector makes his choice between Kuldeep Yadav & Chahal for ODI World Cup

Former Indian spinner Sunil Joshi believes Kuldeep Yadav should be selected in Indian squad slated to be picked for next ICC ODI World Cup. Kuldeep has been picked up for upcoming Test series against Australia but with both Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja raring to go it could be difficult for left-arm spinner to get a place in team. He has been in fine form off late and will have more exposure this year.

Kuldeep Yadav to be India's trumpcard in 2023 World Cup?

Kuldeep Yadav had emerged as one of most prolific wicket-takers amongst Indian spinners but his dip in form has allowed Yuzvendra Chahal to come to front. Rajasthan Royals spinner has been India's reliable force but even he has faced a downturn in recent times which might have forced BCCi to lookout for alternate options.

Kuldeep's return to Test cricket reaped huge dividends amidst much fanfare as 28-year-old picked up eight wickets in his comeback test against Bangladesh in 2022 which proved his brilliance once again. Since n he has been in and out and even played every match of New Zealand series.

Sunil Joshi feels Kuldeep is in a rich vein of form and needs to chalk out his plans accordingly in World Cup. We are talking about seven-eight months from w. Kuldeep is in a where he is absolutely fine. He needs to be more consistent. He needs to be looking at tactical part. He needs to kw how he will approach each team and venue. World Cup is in India but every venue has a different dimension, in terms of pitch, soil and climate. He has to prepare himself accordingly.

On being asked if Kuldeep deserves to be in World Cup squad former chairman of selectors answered, "Of course."

India is set to host upcoming edition of ICC World Cup and Men in Blue are looking to take advant of home conditions. It remains to be seen wher Kuldeep can be effective in his maiden World Cup on home soil.
