Star India spinner Kuldeep Yadav has continued his brilliant form and continues to strengthen his case for a comeback in Indiaโs ODI squad ahead of the ODI World Cup 2027. The 31-year-old is currently representing Yorkshire in the ongoing Royal One-Day Cup 2026.
Kuldeep has made a strong early impression playing for Yorkshire, as he struck twice in the same over and finished with figures of 2-39 against Glamorgan in the tournament. He was extremely dominant in the middle stages of the game, bowling 41 dot balls and taking two wickets in his last over.ย He dismissed Alex Horton on a score of 30 runs in 42 deliveries and went on to dismiss Jamie McIlroy on a duck as well. His spell was crucial in the game as Yorkshire limited Glamorgan to a score of 186 runs in the first innings.ย
His spell further strengthened his case for a comeback in Indiaโs ODI team as well. It is worth noting that Kuldeep Yadav was not included in the Men in Blueโs squad for the recently concluded ODI series against England, and the decision brought forth severe criticism from the experts.ย
However, with the ODI World Cup 2027 rapidly approaching, Kuldeep will hope to continue his performances and make a comeback in Indiaโs ODI squad as well.ย
