India will begin the two-match Test series against Sri Lanka on August 15 in Galle. Since the pitch is expected to help spin bowlers, Kuldeep is among the strongest contenders for a place in the team. Amid this, Shubman Gill suffers a minor injury scare ahead of the Sri Lanka Tests.
He pointed out that Kuldeep has not been given regular opportunities in Test cricket. Even though he is part of the squad most of the time, he has often been left out of the final XI, which shows that the current team management is still not completely convinced about him.
Mohammad Kaif explains why Kuldeep Yadav's place is uncertain
Whether it is Shubman Gill or Gautam Gambhir, they don’t seem completely convinced by Kuldeep’s bowling. He remains in the squad, but he doesn’t always get to play. So, I’m still a little doubtful about whether they will play him or not.”
The former Indian batter does not even think the fast bowler Auqib Nabi will make his Test debut in Galle. Nabi was not part of the original squad but got his first India call-up after Jasprit Bumrah was ruled out of the Sri Lanka tour because of injury. However, Kaif feels Mohammed Siraj will lead India's pace attack, while Prasidh Krishna is likely to be the second fast bowler.
Mohammad Kaif predicts India's bowling combination
The cricket pundit believes that India will field three spinners—Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav, and Manav Suthar. He also feels Suthar has an extra advantage because he can contribute with the bat. His all-round ability could help India strengthen the lower order while also giving the team another quality spin option.
Kaif signed off by saying, “On a slow pitch, I’m looking at two fast bowlers, along with Kuldeep, Jadeja, and Manav Suthar. They could go with two fast bowlers in Siraj and Krishna, along with three spinners in Suthar, Jadeja, and Kuldeep.”
