The Indian team is fully prepared for the second Test match against England. After the defeat in the first Test match, the change in Team India’s playing XI seems to be fixed. Apart from this, there is also doubt about the playing of Jaspreet Bumrah. During this time, the team’s head coach Gautam Gambhir has received such a message, which can lead to a big change in the playing XI. The former Australia captain has given this message to Gautam Gambhir. He has advised Team India to include a left -arm spinner in the team. The former Australian player feels that Team India spinner Kuldeep Yadav can do something amazing in the Edgbaston Test match, which Team India needs.
Michael Clarke told Kuldeep the best
Former Australia captain and commentator Michael Clarke feels that Kuldeep Yadav may bother English batsmen in the second Test match. Speaking on Beyond 23 Podcast, Clarke said that it is an easy decision to include Kuldeep Yadav in the team in the second Test match.
Indian bowlers could not succeed in taking wickets during the Leeds Test match. He said that I do not want to blame anyone in terms of bowling, but Kuldeep Yadav should be fed in the second Test match. He is actually a wicket -taking bowler. If he had played the first Test match, he could have made a big difference.
Team India is making this mistake
The former Australian captain said that Team India sometimes focuses more on the all-rounder to feed more batsmen, but they should choose bowlers on English earth who have the ability to take 20 wickets. Apart from Clarke, former England batsman Nick Knight is also in favor of feeding Kuldeep Yadav in the second Test match.
He says that if there is a slight turn in Edgbaston’s pitch, then Kuldeep Yadav can prove to be very fatal. Knight believes that if Kuldeep gets into his rhythm then his presence can make the match decisive. Everyone is waiting for Team India’s playing XI for the second Test, but the demand for Kuldeep’s return is gaining momentum. The second Test match starts on 2 July.
Kuldeep’s performance in Test match
Kuldeep Yadav has played 13 Test matches for India so far. He has taken 56 wickets in 24 innings. Kuldeep Yadav played his last Test match against New Zealand in Bangalore in November last year. Kuldeep Yadav has taken 21 wickets in 11 innings of 6 Test matches against England. Kuldeep played the only Test in England in the year 2018, in which he did 9 overs, but he did not get any success.

Shubman Gill (captain), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sai Sudarshan, KL Rahul, Rishabh Pant, Ravindra Jadeja, Karun Nair, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammad Siraj, famous Krishna, Arshdeep Singh.
