Former India cricketer-turned-commentator Sanjay Manjrekar wants India to recall Kuldeep Yadav into the team, as they look to solve their bowling woes against Australia.

The 25-year-old has struggled to find his form of late, as batsmen have been picking up his left-arm wrist spin with relative ease. Kuldeep Yadav played just one game against New Zealand, where he gave away 84 runs for two wickets.

Manjrekar believes the player is still capable of helping the team.

Questions were asked about India’s bowling attack after they conceded 370+ runs in back-to-back games against Australia. Sanjay Manjrekar believes recalling Kuldeep Yadav might be the solution to India’s woes.

I only have admiration for this guy: Sanjay Manjrekar on Yuzvendra Chahal

Sanjay Manjrekar also backed Yuzvendra Chahal, who Kuldeep Yadav replaced in the third ODI. The Royal Challengers Bangalore leggie was dropped after poor performances in the first two games against Australia, but Manjrekar believes that he is very important to India’s bowling attack.

Chahal and Yadav formed a formidable spin tandem for India prior to the 2019 World Cup but have struggled a bit since. With the T20I World Cup coming up next year, the duo will have to step up and perform for the Indian team during the tournament.
