Chris Morris delivered in style to help Rajasthan Royals defeat Kolkata Knight Riders by six wickets at the Wankhede Stadium on Saturday.
Kuldeep has been struggling in international cricket and has also been benched by Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR).
Once a vital cog in India and KKR's attack, the chinaman bowler has struggled recently and he is not a regular in the playing XI.
Kuldeep played only one match in Australia, an ODI, and then played one Test and two ODIs during England's tour of India. He hasn't played a single T20 since the IPL last season, when he played just five matches for KKR.
Kuldeep, a Chinaman bowler, played only one international in Australia, an ODI, and then played one Test and two ODIs during England's tour of India.
The left-arm spinner said he doesn't pay attention to such talks and all his focus is on honing his skills in order to stay ahead of the curve.
Kuldeep, who bowled just a bit more than 12 overs at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, was replaced by Washington Sundar in the third Test.
The retired spinner, who played 35 Tests for India, feels the time is running out for Kuldeep and urges the Indian team to rope in a spin consultant to help young spinners.
Axar, who has a ton and 13 half-centuries in First-class cricket, is likely to get a chance to flaunt his batting side when India line up against England at the same venue for the fourth and final Test of the series.
For India, the contemplation will resort to whether having more pacers than spinners or adding more batting depth to the existing lineup with more all-rounders
Kuldeep last played a Test against Australia in Sydney in January 2019. He has since been a part of the Test squad but only warmed the benches.
Washington Sundar will get stiff competition from wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav for the third spinner's slot for the 2nd Test against England in Chennai, which starts February 13.
Both, Siraj and Kuldeep are not part of the ongoing first Test between India and England in Chennai.
Kuldeep, a Chinaman bowler, was benched in all four Tests in Australia and has not played a Test for over two years.
Kuldeep feels likes of Joe Root, Ben Stokes and Jos Buttler brings a lot of quality in the English team but they haven't played in India in a long time.
Yadav has been warming the bench for more than three months now but Pathan said he is a unique bowler who would do well in the upcoming Test assignment.
Kuldeep Yadav, who was in India's squad for the recently-concluded Australia tour, also revealed that he initially was angry after switching to spin.
India have picked off-spinner Washington Sundar (one Test), left-arm spinner Axar Patel (no Test) and chinaman Kuldeep Yadav (six Tests) along with veteran off-spinner Ashwin for the first two Tests.
India bowling coach Bharat Arun too said that Kuldeep would be played in India.
After an impressive five-wicket haul against Australia in Sydney, India head coach Ravi Shastri had said that Kuldeep Yadav wil be the "no.1 overseas spinner." However, he remains largely out of contention for a place in the XI in the upcoming Test series.
