T20 World Cup 2022: Team-wise players who were hit in IPL 2022 but couldn't make it to national squad
Some of the cricketers who played really well in the IPL 2022 season failed to make it to their national squad for the upcoming T20 World Cup.
5. Kuldeep Yadav - Delhi Capitals
Kuldeep Yadav had an impeccable outing for his new franchise - Delhi Capitals in this year’s IPL. The left-arm wrist spinner was the major strike force for the Delhi franchise in the middle overs as he bamboozled batters with his variations.
The 27-year-old took 21 wickets in 14 games at an economy of 8.44. Kuldeep is a genuine wicket-taker and the big grounds in Australia would have aided his aggressive style of bowling. However, with Yuzvendra Chahal being India's number one spinner, there was high competition for the second spinner's slot and the wrist spinner fell behind the pecking order.
Kuldeep missed a couple of T20I tours due to injury and got only one T20I game in the build up to the T20 World Cup 2022. Though he got a three-wicket haul in that lone game against the West Indies, the solid performances of Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravi Bishnoi have kept Kuldeep out of the reckoning. Finally, It was Ashwin who made the cut in the final 15-member India squad for the global tournament.
