Kuldeep Yadav finally got a chance in India’s playing eleven in the ongoing third ODI match against Australia at the Sydney Cricket Ground.

The left-arm spinner was not included in the playing eleven for the first two matches. In his absence, India struggled with the ball and lost both games to clinch the series.

Kuldeep Yadav’s performance against Australia was good

With the series already decided, the Indian team management finally decided to recall Kuldeep Yadav back into the team. He started well with the ball and gave away 11 runs in his first two overs. However, he conceded 16 runs in his next two overs and was dropped from the attack.
