Kuldeep Yadav seeks blessings of Bageshwar Dham

Kuldeep returned to India after playing a pivotal role in securing the T20 World Cup 2024 title in Barbados. His contributions on the field were instrumental in India's triumph in the West Indies and the USA. His visit to Bageshwar Dham highlights Kuldeep's belief. He went there to seek the blessings of Dhirendra Krishna Shastri.

However, it is concerning when influential figures like Kuldeep Yadav visit so-called babas, as it can inadvertently lend credibility to individuals like Dhirendra Krishna Shastri, who has been accused of promoting blind faith and superstition. 

Such visits can mislead fans and followers, potentially encouraging them to place undue trust in unscientific practices and beliefs. It is important for public figures to recognize their impact on society and to promote rational thinking and evidence-based practices instead.

As far as Kuldeep Yadav is concerned, he picked up 10 wickets in five matches of the T20 World Cup 2024 for India. Despite his impactful performances, Kuldeep was not included in the Indian team for the upcoming white-ball series against Sri Lanka.

Kuldeep Yadav is anticipated to rejoin the Indian squad for the Test series against Bangladesh in September this year. He is likely being rested following the demanding T20 World Cup campaign. With Gautam Gambhir now at the helm as head coach, it will be intriguing to see whether he provides Kuldeep with regular opportunities across formats.
