Kuldeep Yadav's Role Under Spotlight Ahead of World Test Championship

Kuldeep Yadav has emerged as a match‑winner for India, but his chances have dwindled after the leadership changes involving Rohit Sharma and Rahul Dravid. Kartik highlighted that during the England series, fans frequently asked, "Where is Kuldeep?" reflecting his importance in the side. With Ashwin retired and Jadeja nearing the end of his career, the responsibility of leading the spin department may fall on Kuldeep. Kartik believes the Sri Lanka series will reveal whether he can step up as the new spin leader, a role crucial for India's quest to qualify for the World Test Championship final.
