India paid the price as they suffered a 24-run defeat in Hyderabad on October 15. The West Indies posted a massive total of 247/3 before bowling India out for 223 in 19.3 overs. Shai Hope played a match-winning knock of 102* off 50 balls that helped his team to level the series 2-2.
Although the Hyderabad pitch is not known for helping the spinners, Ashwin pointed out that West Indies batters have found it difficult to understand Kuldeep Yadav’s googlies and leg-spin.
Ashwin takes a dig at Gautam Gambhir over Kuldeep Yadav
The former Indian all-rounder mocked Gautam Gambhir and the think tank’s common sense and said that Kuldeep’s presence could have helped India save around 15 to 20 runs, which might have made a big difference in the fourth T20I against the West Indies.
Kuldeep’s record against the West Indies in T20Is has been impressive. The left-arm wrist-spinner has taken 20 wickets in 11 matches against them at an impressive average of 15.70 and an economy rate of 7.13.
Ravichandran Ashwin makes strong statement on Kuldeep Yadav after India’s Ranchi defeat
However, Ashwin said that India’s decision to leave Kuldeep out of the playing XI in Indore was understandable, as the ground has small boundaries, making it difficult for spinners to control the scoring. However, he refused to blame Kuldeep for India’s defeat in Ranchi.
He signed off by saying, “I was surprised. Kuldeep was not picked in Indore, and I would still endorse that decision because I can understand that the ground is small. But you are almost making an issue out of it by suggesting that India’s loss in Ranchi was because of Kuldeep. That, in itself, is wrong.”
