IPL 2022: Flop Indian XI from IPL Week 7
Gujarat Titans seal a playoff spot while Lucknow Super Giants are still in the top two reckoning.
8. Kuldeep Yadav
Kuldeep Yadav has recovered his mojo this season and has been contributing massively in some of Delhi’s wins. He remained in the hunt for the Purple Cap picking up 18 wickets in 10 games up until last week.
However, much similar to the fate of his spin bowling partner Axar had, the chinaman bowler was taken to the cleaners against CSK by Devon Conway in particular who smashed 18 runs of his first over and didn’t show any respite in his second over too hitting 16 runs. Conway used his feet to the fuller deliveries from Kuldeep while the wide ones were hit over covers. He returned with 43 runs off his 3 overs without picking any wickets.
Kuldeep had some respite compared to his outing against CSK when they faced RR next. However, he still looked ineffective and couldn’t provide any breakthroughs in the middle overs to break the partnership of R Ashwin and Devdutt Padikkal. Kuldeep would like to forget this week and will hope that his team can go deep in the tournament and pick more wickets that keeps him in the race for highest wicket taker along with Chahal and Rabada.
