Parthiv Patel slammed the Gautam Gambhir-led team management for focusing too much on batting depth and snubbing Kuldeep Yadav despite him being in the form of his life.
Kuldeep remained on the bench throughout the five-match Test series in England, and thankfully, due to spin-friendly pitches in the Asia Cup 2025, he featured in the India playing XI.
Kuldeep Yadav next featured in the home Test series against West Indies, where he bagged four wickets in Ahmedabad and eight wickets in Delhi.
We will definitely see Kuldeep Yadav playing in the third ODI - Parthiv Patel
During a discussion on ‘Cricket Live’, Parthiv Patel said that Kuldeep Yadav's participation in the third ODI against Australia is mandatory if India want to avoid a whitewash. He said (as quoted by Deccan Chronicle):
"Kuldeep Yadav can provide those crucial wickets in the middle overs that India has been missing. If your top-order batters get out early, that’s part of the game. You can’t keep adding more batters to cover for that. The focus should be on playing the best combination to win."
Kuldeep Yadav should have been part of the playing XI right from the first game - Varun Aaron
"Kuldeep Yadav should have been part of the playing XI right from the first game of the series. You might have to sacrifice a batsman to make that happen, but it’s worth it. Playing just two fast bowlers in Australia isn’t ideal, but Kuldeep is someone who can get you wickets and those wickets make up for the runs you might lose by playing one batter fewer.
