Bowling leg spin is tough but being a china-man bowler is even harder. India's Kuldeep Yadav has seen highs and lows in his short career. The left-arm spinner is struggling to find a permanent spot in the Indian main side.

Yadav over the past few months has found it difficult to regain form after suffering multiple injuries, hampering his return. His performances in the Indian Premier League for Delhi Capitals helped the 37-year-old immensely where he picked up 21 wickets.

Yadav shone with the ball in the recently concluded One-Day International (ODI) series against South Africa, claiming a 4-for in the series decider in Delhi last evening.

Speaking to the media, Yadav did express his disappointment at missing out on the upcoming T20 World Cup 2022.

However, when asked about next year's 50-overs World Cup, Yadav said that his only focus is on bowling and gaining practical experience.


"Its (ODI World Cup) is too far away. Im not thinking about it. I've been become more practical about things. We have a lot of series to play and the focus is to bowl well in those,"


​In seven ODIs in 2022, he has picked 11 wickets, adding to his overall tally of 118.
