India squad for Australia Test series in 2017: Where are they now?
The last time India hosted Australia for the iconic four-match Test series was back in 2017 and the Men in Blue grabbed the bragging rights, clinching the series 2-1.
14. Kuldeep Yadav
Border Gavaskar Trophy 2017 was a special series for Kuldeep Yadav as it was the first time the left-arm wrist spinner donned the national colours. The Kanpur-born made his international debut in the final game of the Test series in Dharamsala and he took four wickets in the match.
After the Test series against Australia, Kuldeep made his debut in ODIs and T20Is as well and courtesy of consistent performances, he became a vital cog in India's white-ball set-up. However post 2019, his stocks suffered a significant dip and he was dropped from the side across formats. Kuldeep made a comeback to the national side, courtesy of stellar showings in IPL 2022 which saw him take 21 wickets in 14 games.
Since his international return, he has been quite phenomenal with the ball for the Men in Blue across formats. In the recently culminated Test series against Bangladesh, the ace spinner took eight wickets in the first match to help India take the series lead. He is part of the upcoming Test series against Australia and would be itching to set the stage ablaze with his bowling displays.
