Left-arm wrist-spinner Kuldeep Yadav’s stupendous run in ODIs this year has hit a crescendo in the ongoing Asia Cup. After picking 5-25 against Pakistan in a rain-hit Super Four match, Kuldeep took 4-43 against Sri Lanka, and also became the leading wicket-taker for the visitors in the Asia Cup.

Kuldeep credited his good run to a change in mindset from getting a wicket to thinking about bowling the right length, ever since he made his comeback from a knee injury last year. That injury cut Kuldeep’s time in the IPL 2021 second half in the UAE, forcing him to go under the surgeon’s scalpel.
