Asia Cup: Kuldeep yadav 'Whenever I retire, I will always cherish this five-fer against Pakistan'

Asia Cup 2023 Kuldeep yadav ‘Whenever I retire, I will always cherish this five-fer against Pakistan’: Kuldeep Yadav, a left-arm wristspinner for Team India, has said that when he retires, he will miss his five-wicket haul against Pakistan in the Asia Cup 2023 Super 4 match on Monday at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo.

The Men in Blue crushed Pakistan by 228 runs in the Super 4 encounter on Monday, with Kuldeep taking 5/25 in eight overs. On the following day, India resumed their innings at 147/2. India reached 356/2 thanks to centuries from Virat Kohli (122* off 94 deliveries) and KL Rahul (111* off 106) who also had a third-wicket partnership of 233 that was unbroken.

“When you pick up five wickets against a big team, it really boosts your morale. Whenever I retire, I will always cherish this five-fer against Pakistan,” he commented.

The spinner added that he has been working hard on bringing more aggression in his bowling rhythm, and the same is paying dividends.

“I have been playing regularly for the past one and half years after my knee surgery. My run-up has gone a bit straight. There is more aggression in my bowling rhythm, the approach to the crease is good, and perhaps earlier my bowling hand used to fall a lot, it’s under control now and it is now facing more towards the batsman,” Kuldeep elaborated.

“At the same time, I have not lost my spin and drift, it is still there and my pace has also gone up. That’s why it is helping me. For some time now, I have only been thinking about hitting those good lengths consistently, it gives you more chances of taking wickets,” he explained.

On Monday, Kuldeep cleaned up Fakhar Zaman for 27 before adding the scalps of Agha Salman, Shadab Khan, Iftikhar Ahmed, and Faheem Ashraf.

“Post-surgery was very frustrating for me. I was out for five months. It has not happened overnight. It took me some time to get it right. Many people had suggested it but I also never wanted to lose my zip, dip and drift. After the surgery when I completed my rehab for three months, then I realized that I must work on it,” he said.

“One and a half years have been amazing for me. I have been bowling well. I don’t think too much about the playing XI, I am just enjoying my bowling,” Kuldeep added.

The 28-year-old spinner has an impressive one-day record. In 87 matches, he has claimed 146 wickets at an average of 26.04 and an economy rate of 5.12.

Rohit Sharma's Name Not Include in 16-Member India Team List: "Forced Retirement?"

Rohit Sharma’s Name Not Include in 16-Member India Team List: “Forced Retirement?” – This is not a right hint for Rohit Sharma, as he missed the fifth Test against Australia in Sydney.

When Jasprit Bumrah had gone for the toss, he won the toss and decided to bat against the Australian team.

This Test will decide, for India whether they qualify for or not for the World Test Championship.

In this tournament, Indian skipper Rohit Sharma just scored 31 runs in five innings. There was a growing feeling that his end was near.

During those innings, the 37-year-old white-ball legend appeared to be a pale shell of his former self, finding it difficult to execute even his bread-and-butter strokes, such as the signature front foot pull.

During the customary pre-match warm-up session, Rohit was seen playing football with Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant and Sarfaraz Khan, who is ending the series without getting a game.

Following this, Rohit was observed conversing with Hari Prasad, the team’s video analyst. Before Bumrah emerged to a thunderous cheer from the packed house, he departed the outfield just before the toss time.

When the TV cameras panned on him, Rohit was seen sitting outside the dressing room with fielding coach Ryan Ten Doeschate by his side. Head coach Gautam Gambhir sat a distance from the duo. Interestingly, Rohit’s name was missing from team sheet that has the names of all players available, including substitutes and reserves. Only injured Akash Deep and Rohit’s names were missing.

“So typical of Rohit Sharma. Doing the right thing, doing what’s right for the team. But could not understand the ‘cloak & dagger’ around the issue. Wasn’t even talked about at the toss,” he posted on ‘X’.

After India lost the fourth Test in Melbourne to go down 1-2 in the five-match series, rumors over his future in the longest format also intensified.

Rohit’s least successful year in Test cricket was 2024, when he amassed 619 runs in 26 innings across 14 games at an average of 24.76.

Although Rohit led India to a much-anticipated T20 World Cup victory last year, his performance in the conventional format significantly declined.
