 "'Bring Kuldeep directly': Harbhajan Singh urges Gambhir and Gill to make bold call in 4th Test vs England")
With the fourth Test about to begin in Manchester, Team India stands at a delicate position in the series at 2-1. As injuries have mounted, it is needless to say that the playing XI will be tweaked for the penultimate Test match against England. One to two modifications are expected on the side that entered the Lord’s, with Nithish Kumar Reddy ruled out of the series. However, at this point, it is anybody’s guess what changes the team management will make.
As the guessing game is on, experts are busy suggesting the names who should be picked for the 4th Test. The bracket includes former India bowler Harbhajan Singh, who has straight-up stated that Kuldeep Yadav should be included in the side.
Harbhajan Singh vouches for Kuldeep Yadav
As per Singh, Yadav can hoodwink the English batters with his variations and must get picked in the 4th Test. Harbhajan’s comments were made before Nitish’s injury news was revealed.
“I had said before the Lord’s Test and also for the Birmingham Test that Kuldeep should play. Because the kind of free-flowing batting these Englishmen do, it is not that easy to him. If such a spinner spins it both sides, then he can become a mystery bowler and take wickets at crucial times,” Singh told India Today.
“In Test cricket, it is not just that they are waiting for the new ball. Let a few overs be bowled. If nothing much is happening, then Kuldeep Yadav can take wickets. If it was my team, I would drop Nitish and bring Kuldeep directly in the team,” he added.
