Kuldeep Yadav Deserves a Spot in India’s T20 World Cup Clash against Pakistan: Aakash Chopra

Former India cricketer and commentator Aakash Chopra believes that left-arm spinner Kuldeep Yadav should be included in the Indian team for their crucial T20 World Cup clash against Pakistan on October 23.

Yadav, who has been in impressive form for India in recent months, has been a regular member of the squad for the World Cup but has not yet featured in the tournament. Chopra argues that his wicket-taking ability and variations make him a valuable asset, especially against a strong Pakistan batting lineup.

Chopra said in a video on his YouTube channel, “If India has to play Kuldeep Yadav, then this is the best opportunity. He is a wicket-taker and if he gets the chance, he will not let it go. Pakistan’s middle order is not that strong, so it is the right time to play Kuldeep.”

He added, “His variations are so difficult to read and he can be very effective against Pakistan’s left-handed batters like Mohammad Rizwan and Babar Azam.”

If Yadav is included in the team, he could potentially replace either Axar Patel or Yuzvendra Chahal, both of whom have been struggling for form in the World Cup. Yadav’s ability to pick up wickets in the middle overs could prove crucial against Pakistan, who have a deep batting lineup.

Chopra’s comments highlight the growing chorus of support for Yadav’s inclusion in the Indian team. With just a few days to go before the Pakistan clash, it remains to be seen whether the selectors will heed Chopra’s advice and give the talented spinner a chance to prove his worth on the big stage.
