In the ongoing three-match One-Day International series against Zimbabwe, India has been on fire.

They won the first ODI by 10 wickets and the second by five wickets to take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the series with one match remaining.

The bowling attack of the Men in Blue has been dominant in both games, limiting the hosts to under 200 runs in both.

Kuldeep Yadav, who was playing his first ODI series since recovering from a serious hand injury, was the bowler who did not impress in both games.

Kuldeep Yadav was the only Indian bowler to go wicketless in the first game, recording figures of 0-36 in 10 overs. In the second One-Day International, he was the most expensive Indian bowler in the innings.

Kuldeep Yadav Has Not Played Regular Cricket: Mohammad Kaif

Former Indian batsman Mohammad Kaif said of Kuldeep’s mediocre bowling performances that he is unsure whether to bowl fast or slow.

“He is slightly confused if he should bowl fast or slow. He has adopted a new thing that he wants to bowl fast, he wants to keep the speed around 90 kph. There at times the balls are pitching short, so Williams played the pull shots and when he flighted the ball, he was driven,” he said in a discussion with Sony Sports.

“There were quite a few boundaries that went off his bowling. He proved slightly expensive if we see today. He conceded the most runs if we talk about the bowlers, he gave 49 runs in his eight overs. He had a big wicket to his name, he dismissed Sikandar Raza, who is a good player,” he added.

“He missed a caught-and-bowled opportunity, he will be slightly disappointed with that. However, the rhythm is being seen.

“He bowled well in West Indies. He will get better when he plays more matches. He has not got regular matches,” further added Kaif.
