The Return of Kuldeep

Coming back to the match India’s best performer Kuldeep in an interview after the match said “Of course, when I was injured, then our physio said that whatever happens, I should not have a load on my knee. I started my run-up more quickly, and I didn’t cut my angle. Then slowly, I started thinking about bowling straight, and it was easier for me. I have become more aggressive, and my rhythm has become better. It didn’t come naturally, it took about 5-6 months.”

Speaking on his bowling style Kuldeep said “I don’t think of myself as an off-spinner; I think of myself as a classic leg-spinner. The only thing is I bowl from the left hand. I have variations and a googly as well. So I don’t think you need to have an off-spinner. If your team’s combination is sitting well, then you don’t need to play 3-4 spinners. If you have two quality spinners, then I think that works.”
