Kuldeep said that in IPL and T20Is, he pushes ball a bit faster and he did same on day.

"I bowl faster in IPL and T20Is also to give batter one run. So I just did that here also." His batting has improved by leaps and bounds since his comeback from injury and working hard in NCA on fitness is also paying off well.

"I have worked on my batting a lot of late. Same with fitness. Whenever I get time, I go to NCA. So thanks to trainers re. That's one thing I have tried to do in last one year. Earlier, I wasn't much into it."
