Sri Lanka defeated India in the third ODI to win the series by 2-0.
Without giving too much away, India head coach Rahul Dravid hinted at the possibility of playing wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav in the Caribbean leg of the T20 World Cup, starting with the Super 8 opener against Afghanistan. India did not play either Kuldeep or Yuzvendra Chahal in the USA leg of the tournament considering the pace-friendly conditions. However, the conditions are different in the Caribbean where wrist spinners have already made an impact with Adam Zampa being a case in point. India could drop a pacer and include Kuldeep in the team ========================================== How tough was it to leave Kuldeep, who has been India's standout spinner over the past 12 months, out of playing eleven in USA? It's tough to leave anyone out. I mean all the four guys that we left out in those games, to be honest, are all quality players. It's just that the conditions and what we felt was the requirement in that particular venue made us go with that particular combination where we
Delhi Capitals' director of cricket, Sourav Ganguly said that Rishabh Pant, Kuldeep Yadav and Axar Patel would certainly board the plane for the US and the West Indies.
This is now the sixth stint for Ashwin at the top of the rankings as he first became number one in December 2015
The Dharamsala Test was the easiest win for the Indian team among the five Tests against England. Here are the top five reasons for this
India vs England 5th Test Day 3 Highlights: Ravichandran Ashwin picked 9/128 and Kuldeep Yadav 7/112. Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill hit centuries as Indian team beat English by an innings and 64 runs
As soon as the last wicket fell, Kuldeep Yadav tossed the 57.4 over old red SG Test ball towards his senior colleague and the team's milestone man Ravichandran Ashwin, who promptly tossed it back to him. After another round of catching, like an insistent older brother, Ashwin literally forced the ball into Kuldeep's palms. Ashwin had taken four in his 100th Test but Kuldeep did one better, a five-for that he had missed in the previous game against England. But the 37-year-old's sweet gesture of depositing the ball in Kuldeep's hands may have subtly been a change of guard in terms of who the leader of the spin attack will be in the coming years. Ashwin has had 21 wickets in this series with another innings to go and Kuldeep, who wasn't picked for the opening match, has 17 to his credit. But in terms of impact, the man from Kanpur, after a roller-coaster ride in the past few years, has stood head and shoulders above his esteemed seniors. The traditional 'Chinaman's leg-break', which
England were all at sea against the mastery of India spinner Kuldeep Yadav, whose fourth five-wicket haul reduced the visitors to 194 for eight at tea on day one of the fifth Test here on Thursday. Kuldeep engineered a middle-order collapse that saw England lose three wickets for no run and all of a sudden they found themselves reeling at 175 for six from three down on the same score. The left-arm wrist spinner, who struck twice in the morning, added three more wickets to his tally in the afternoon while R Ashwin took two. England lost six wickets in the session for 94 runs. Kuldeep could have got rid of Zak Crawley (79 off 108) on the second ball of the day but India opted against DRS for a catch. But the 29-year-old spinner did not have to wait long thereafter as he got one to turn massively from the imaginary fifth stump to shatter the England opener's leg-stump. Both the inward drift and the sharp turn led to Crawley's dismissal. Jonny Bairstow (29 off 19), who like Ashwin is

India spinner Kuldeep Yadav on Tuesday said that rank turners might come into play in the ongoing Test battle against England but admitted that sporting tracks, like the ones seen in the first two games, are "good for cricket". The two sides have assembled here for the third Test starting at the Saurashtra Cricket Association (SCA) Stadium from Thursday, with the series poised at 1-1. "Overall, everything is important. The fast bowlers also come into play, like you saw in the last match. So (good wickets) are good for cricket. It is not (the case) that you will not get to see rank turners going forward. Hopefully, in the future you will see (turning tracks)," Kuldeep said while addressing a media conference ahead of India's training session on Tuesday. A depleted India were pushed by an aggressive England, who beat them comfortably in the first Test, but the hosts bounced back in the second. Both the matches were played on pitches that were not predominantly spin-friendly and had ..
