The Indian Team are playing a two-match Test series against Bangladesh. They are in front in this Test match after scoring 404 in the first innings and then they bowled out Bangladesh for just 150 in their first innings. Kuldeep Yadav made his presence felt in the game with an invaluable 40 off 114 balls, with five fours and then picked up 5-40 with the ball in his 16-over spell.

Kuldeep was playing a Test match after a long time. His exploits with bat and ball had left an impression on people far and wide and also he got a lot of encouragement and positive reactions for his game-changing performances. Former Pakistan cricketer Rashid Latif made a big statement on Kuldeep after he turned the match for India with bat and ball.

“India ne sabse badi mistake ki hai inko World Cup me naa khilaake. Vo read nahi hota hai sabse. India ko har format me nahi toh 2 format me zarurat hai Kuldeep Yadav ki. (The biggest mistake India did is to not play Kuldeep Yadav in the T20 World Cup. Not everyone can read him. India need Kuldeep in at least two formats)," Latif said on his YouTube channel.

“Indian bowling ka pressure bohot zyada hai. Jab 3 out ho gaye the, uske baad Kuldeep Yadav aaye. Vo read hi nahi kar paaye unko. 2-3 cheezein hain isme, log samajhte hain ki chinaman ho ya right-arm leg spinner ho, tez karega toh achhi karega. Aisa nahi hai. Kuldeep Yadav behetareen misaal hai. (Kuldeep was brought when Bangladesh had lost 3 wickets and they failed to read him. People think that chinaman or leg-spin bowlers need pace, but that's not true. Kuldeep Yadav is the prime example for that),” Latif added.

“Rashid Khan tez karta hai, Kuldeep slow karta hai. Shadab aur Zampa, Sodhi, har ek ki pace vary karti hai. Agar aapke paas achhi googly, leg-break hai, flipper hai, toh aap flight me hi decieve kar sakte ho. Bangladesh ke players read kar lete hain par aaj Kuldeep Yadav ne inko read karne nahi diya. Ye bohot bada talent hai world cricket ka. (Rashid Khan bowls with pace but Kuldeep is slower. If you have a decent googly, leg-break and flipper, you can deceive the batter in the air. Bangladesh players can usually read the spinners but Kuldeep didn't allow them any comfort). He stated.
