Switching formats not easy: Kuldeep Yadav
Switching formats in a short span of time is never easy, concedes Kuldeep Yadav and the senior India spinner hopes that players coming off a gruelling IPL season have prepared well for this week’s one-off Test against Afghanistan just as he did with extended red-ball practice.
Kuldeep’s franchise, Delhi Capitals, failed to make the IPL play-offs and he himself had an underwhelming season with only 10 wickets from 12 games. In an interview to PTI ahead of the Test beginning on Saturday, Kuldeep talked about how he had been personally doing net sessions for the past two weeks to get into the red-ball groove.
“It is tough when you switch from IPL cricket to red-ball cricket. Preparation becomes very necessary. Luckily, I got time. I practised for at least 10 to 15 days and got the feel of the red ball,” Kuldeep said in the exclusive interaction facilitated by series broadcasters ‘JioHotstar’.
