IPL 2022: 5 players who performed well against their team from previous season

1. Kuldeep Yadav (4/35 against Kolkata Knight Riders)

After Shreyas Iyer, Match 19 of IPL 2022 brought another match-up in our hands when Kuldeep Yadav faced Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). His four wickets against his former franchisee certainly won may hearts. He won the player-of-the-match award for the match winning performance. One can say revenge well taken by the leg-spinner, who was not utilised well by the Kolkata franchise.

His four wickets included Shreyas Iyer, Pat Cummins, Sunil Narine and Umesh Yadav. While, he was out of the second leg of IPL 2021 due to injury, Kuldeep almost warmed the bench for the last couple of seasons in KKR. The cricketer from Uttar Pradesh was not in his best of forms, and the franchisee did not back him either.

We are certainly seeing the old Kuldeep back this season, who has already claimed 10 wickets in four games. His old partner Yuzvendra Chahal has also taken 11 wickets this season. Will we see the duo, popularly known as ‘Kulcha’ return to the Indian side? Only time will tell.
