 "Delhi Capitals' Kuldeep Yadav has suffered a groin niggle. AP")
Kuldeep Yadav has been advised to rest as a precautionary measure by his IPL 2024 team Delhi Capitals because the Indian spinner is nursing a groin niggle. Kuldeep picked up the niggle in Delhi Capitals’ second IPL 2024 match against Rajasthan Royals in Jaipur, which DC lost. Due to the niggle, Kuldeep was forced to miss the next two matches for DC as veteran pacer Ishant Sharma returned to the playing XI.
“It will take some time for him to be match fit,” an IPL source told PTI when asked about Kuldeep’s status.
Since he is a centrally-contracted player and a T20 World Cup hopeful, National Cricket Academy’s sports science and medical team will have a big say in Kuldeep’s injury and rehab management.
It is mandatory for franchises to report niggles and injury concerns of an India player to the NCA.
Although he has been travelling with the side for all the clashes, his participation in DC’s upcoming tie against Mumbai Indians on Sunday remains doubtful.
Kuldeep has picked up three wickets in two matches at an economy of 7.62.
He has been on a wicket-taking spree, coming off a great performance in the five-Test series against England that concluded last month, where he claimed 19 wickets in four meetings at an average of 20.15.
