Kuldeep Yadav has to find solutions without MS Dhoni: Venkatapathy Raju

Kuldeep Yadav no longer has Mahendra Singh Dhoni behind the stumps for tactical inputs and hence will have to figure out a way to get back to form before the T20 World Cup, where he can be a match-winner, feels former India spinner Venkatapathy Raju.


Kuldeep had a meteoric rise under Dhoni’s captaincy but his form tapered under Virat Kohli, leading to his ouster from the Test side.


“Sri Lanka tracks will be slow, there will be some bite, so it is good for him [Kuldeep] to make a comeback. With IPL and T20 World Cup tracks in UAE likely to be dry and spin-friendly, Kuldeep can be a match-winner,” former national selector Raju said.


While he needs the captain’s confidence, Raju wants the UP spinner to find a solution to get back to his prime form.

“Unfortunately, we all knew how captains had played a big role in Kuldeep’s growth. He has been always saying that he was very comfortable playing under Dhoni, but Dhoni is not going to be there for him till his career is over, so hopefully, he has to come up with a solution,” Raju said.
