Kuldeep finished with six wickets in the series in three matches at an average of 17.66 and an economy rate of 5.00. He is the leading wicket-taker in the series

Mumbai Apr 21 PTI Yuzvendra Chahals bagful of tricks will meet its perfect match in Kuldeep Yadavs guile as the two wrist spinners are expected to dictate the narrative when Rajasthan Royals clash with Delhi Capitals in an IPL match on Friday With current Orange Cap holder in Jos Buttler 375 runs and Purple Cap holder Chahal 17 wickets in their ranks Royals are a team that is looking pretty formidable at the moment even with a dysfunctional middle-order save Shimron Hetmyer On the other hand resurgent Capitals are battling the agony that comes with a mini COVID-19 outbreak in the camp but are still trying to put their best foot forward to stay afloat In this backdrop the two wrist-spinners who are currently dominating the bowling charts will be itching to show their wares with Kuldeep 13 wickets at No 2 expected to pose some questions for in-form Buttler in case there is a match-up For Delhi Kuldeep along with Axar Patel and Lalit Yadav would like to stem the run-flow but stopping Buttler will be on top of their agenda on a Wankhede track that is expected to be good for batting For Chahal how he varies the pace against a rampaging David Warner or the ever-attacking Prithvi Shaw and skipper Rishabh Pant will be a delight for the fans In the past five years life has come to a full circle for Kul-Cha who were the taste of the nation between 2017 and 2019 when wrist spinners were in vogue during the Ravi Shastri-Virat Kohli era While Chahal got a body blow after being dropped from the last T20 World Cup squad and was sporadically picked in white ball formats Kuldeep also lost his way He got very little support from either erstwhile national team management or his previous IPL team KKR and also endured a career-threatening knee injury But now the smile is back and so is the guile The left-arm wrist spinners googly -- the one that turns away from right-hander -- is back and so is the conventional left-arm leg-break which comes into the right-hander However in these kind of games the support cast becomes more important as they can create those little game-changing moments that impact the final outcome of the game Mustafizur Rahamans cutters and Khaleel Ahmeds clever change of pace could also trouble the likes of Sanju Samson and Riyan Parag Similarly if Trent Boult gets one to tail in first-up Shaws response and technique will be tested in earnest But Royals have now got a calm death bowler in West Indies Obed McCoy who was brilliant while bowling the final over against KKR McCoy who made his IPL debut in the last game is tall and looked like using his height to a good advantage to create awkward angles and length for the Delhi batters If middle-order non-performance is an issue for Royals the DC doesnt seem to have found the second Indian batter in that middle-order slot apart from skipper Pant who can take the bowling apart Mandeep Singh was a massive failure against genuine quick bowling but Sarfaraz Khan is trying to play himself in Rovman Powell till now has failed to show his destructive self and these are the players who need to push the envelope when it comes to maintaining the momentum Teams From Rajasthan Royals Yashasvi Jaiswal Riyan Parag Shubham Garwal Dhruv Jurel Kuldip Yadav Kuldeep Sen Tejas Baroka Anunay Singh KC Kariappa Sanju Samson Jos Buttler Rassie Van der Dussen Nathan Coulter Nile Jimmy Neesham Daryl Mitchell Karun Nair Obed McCoy Navdeep Saini Ravichandran Ashwin Trent Boult Shimron Hetmyer Devdutt Padikkal Prasidh Krishna and Yuzvendra Chahal Delhi Capitals Rishabh Pant Captain Ashwin Hebbar David Warner Mandeep Singh Prithvi Shaw Rovman Powell Anrich Nortje Chetan Sakariya Khaleel Ahmed Kuldeep Yadav Lungi Ngidi Mustafizur Rahman Shardul Thakur Axar Patel Kamlesh Nagarkoti Lalit Yadav Mitchell Marsh Pravin Dubey Ripal Patel Sarfaraz Khan Vicky Ostwal Yash Dhull and KS Bharat Match Starts at 730pm PTI KHS AT AT

New Delhi Dec 21 PTI Indias premier off-spinner R Ashwin has revealed that he felt like he was being thrown under the bus after a remark by former head coach Ravi Shastri left him crushed during a torrid phase in his career when he contemplated retirement multiple times In an interview with ESPNcricinfo Ashwin was asked how he felt when then coach Shastri anointed Kuldeep Yadav as Indias No 1 spinner overseas after he had taken a five-for in the 2019 Sydney Test against Australia Ashwin said he was genuinely happy for Kuldeep as he knew how difficult it is to take five wickets as a spinner in Australia but Shastris remarks left him absolutely crushed I hold Ravi bhai in high esteem We all do And I understand we all can say things and then retract them In that moment though I felt crushed Absolutely crushed Ashwin said We all talk about how important it is to enjoy your team-mates success And I was happy for Kuldeep I have not been able to get a five-for but he has a five-for in Australia I know how big it is Even when I have bowled well at other times I havent ended up with a five-for So I am genuinely happy for him And its an extremely happy occasion to win in Australia But if I have to come and partake in his happiness and the success of the team I must feel like I belong there If I feel like I am being thrown under the bus how am I supposed to get up and come for a party to enjoy the teams or team-mates success Ashwin however still made it to the celebration party that was organised following the Indians teams historic series triumph Down Under I went back to my room and then I spoke to my wife And my children were there So we were able to you know shrug it off and I still made it to the party because end of the day we had won a massive series The 35-year-old said that recurring injuries meant that he was playing under excruciating pain when he took three wickets in each innings to lead India to victory in the first Test Shastris remark was quite too much for Ashwin after he played a role in the teams win in the series opener The first Test seemed like a distant memory by then I had taken three of the first four wickets in the first innings after we were bowled out cheaply and then when it got really flat in the final innings I plugged away for 50-plus overs and took three wickets despite what turned out to be a grade three abdomen tear In my mind I had done something great for the team in excruciating pain but all I heard was Nathan Lyon took six Ashwin took three As it is I was frustrated with my body for letting me down when I was in really good bowling form The last thing I needed was these comparisons and insinuations Between that reaction and Sydney it didnt feel like I had played any part at all Ashwin said Ashwin has been a great asset for India in both home and away conditions in the longer format of the game The spinner has so far taken 427 Test wickets making him the third-highest wicket-taker from the country after Anil Kumble and Kapil Dev in the red-ball format But there was a phase between 2018 to 2020 when he almost quit playing Between 2018 and 2020 I contemplated giving up the sport at various points I thought I have put in a lot of effort but it is not coming through The harder I tried the farther it felt Especially with athletic pubalgia and the patellar tendonitis - I used to bowl six balls and then I used to be gasping for breath And there would be pain all over the place So you needed to make adjustments When the knee pain got excruciating the next ball I would probably jump less When I jumped less obviously the force needs to be produced through the core and the back and the shoulders so the pubalgia a chronic groin lesion would act up So the third ball I would be extra side-on to try to use the hips By the time I was done with six balls I would be like I need a break here Ashwin recalled He also said that an injury breakdown in overseas assignments is often sneered at by the games observers an attitude that reflects the lack of empathy in cricketing community Only when it hits them personally do they have the empathy Empathy is being able to put yourself in others shoes and feel Hey what if it happens to me I feel as a cricketing community we lack that he lamented PTI AH PM PM
