T20 World Cup 2024: Former New Zealand great bats for Kuldeep Yadav's inclusion in Indian team in Super 8s

Former New Zealand great and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) head coach Stephen Fleming wants Kuldeep Yadav back in the Indian team from Super 8s of the ongoing T20 World Cup.

According to Fleming, Kuldeep Yadav's wicket-taking flair will give India a big advantage.

Fleming feels that picking Kuldeep will help India in the turning tracks of West Indies and it will also allow Kuldeep to ease into the side, before the latter stages of the tournament, in case India qualifies.

"You can't be so set in one way of playing that you miss the opportunities to take advantage of conditions as you say but yeah, I would think maybe Kuldeep would come in to provide that extra bit of wicket-taking flair if the wickets do provide the turn as they get a little bit more used and you get closer to the end of the tournament," said Fleming.

Notably, Kuldeep has not played a single game in the T20 World Cup 2024. India have preferred Ravindra Jadeja and Axar Patel as the two spinners, which has helped them with batting depth.
