Michael Clarke said that the inclusion of the star left-arm wrist-spinner Kuldeep Yadav in the India playing XI could have helped Team India pick 20 wickets throughout the series and possibly win the series.
Gautam Gambhir gave preference to spin-bowling all-rounders Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar over specialist Kuldeep Yadav, and India managed to draw the series 2-2.
He faced constant snubs for years due to the presence of the modern-day spin-bowling greats Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja in the Test playing XI, but when the former retired, many experts expected Kuldeep Yadav to get consistent chances.

I think he could have helped India take 20 wickets in this series - Michael Clarke
"The talk around Kuldeep Yadav, I don’t think, changes. He didn’t play a part in the series. I think he could have helped India take 20 wickets in this series. But you can’t take anything from these two (Sundar and Jadeja).
I think he’s that X-factor for all of India - Michael Clarke
Clarke further said that Kuldeep Yadav is the X-factor of India, while Jadeja and Sundar are underrated. He explained:
“And then the two spinners, their batting is underrated. Has always been underrated for someone like Jadeja. He scores so many important runs for India. And, Washington Sundar another fifty as well."
“Akash Deep made 66 off 94 balls, which was so important. Not only to continue, I guess the momentum and that partnership, but [also] 60 runs on that stage of the game, on that pitch was so important.”
