On the day the Indian team arrived in Kanpur for the second Test against Bangladesh, beginning on Friday, the question in the minds of local fans was whether they will finally get to see an Uttar Pradesh player in the XI. There are three UP players in the 15-member squad, but all three were on the bench in the first Test, which India won convincingly in Chennai. 

A star performer

The most prominent among them is left-arm unorthodox bowler Kuldeep Yadav. Whenever he has donned the India Test jersey, he has performed well, but somehow has been more on the sidelines than in the XI.
