India's 2019 World Cup squad members: Where are they now?
Just a month ahead of the 2023 World Cup, it’s time to know about the players who helped Team India reach the semi-final in the 2019 edition of the distinguished ODI tournament.
13. Kuldeep Yadav
Kuldeep Yadav provided strength to the team’s spin-bowling unit in the last World Cup. In the majority of matches, the team management showed faith in Kuldeep to support the spin department along with Yuzvendra Chahal. Playing seven games in the competition, the left-arm wrist spinner got six wickets at an economy of 5.02.
In India’s inaugural match against South Africa, when Yuzvendra Chahal took a four-wicket haul, Kuldeep also contributed an economical spell of 1/46 to the side. Against Pakistan, Team India would’ve found itself in deep trouble if Kuldeep hadn’t removed dangerous Babar Azam and Fakhar Zaman from the crease in the middle of the innings.
Riding on his bowling heroics, India registered an 89-run win (Duckworth-Lewis-Stern method) against the arch-rivals. He will be seen donning India blues again in the upcoming World Cup to serve the team. This time, he will be expected to provide support to Jadeja to reinforce the team’s spin-bowling unit.
