Ex-India spinner weighs in on Axar vs Kuldeep debate ahead of Eng Tests

Having got to play only eight Tests since making his debut against Australia in 2017 does make Kuldeep Yadav one of the unluckiest Indian cricketers in recent times. And if the Indian team management under Rahul Dravid follow the "rank turner" template for the upcoming England series starting January 25, Kuldeep can be seen warming the bench at least in the initial stage of the five-match series. Axar Patel has garnered 50 wickets in 12 Tests, with 27 of those wickets coming in his first three Tests against England in 2021, and the remaining 23 in nine subsequent games.
