Kuldeep Yadav’s inclusion was done keeping Pakistan in mind: Ramiz Raja

AHMEDABAD: Former Pakistan cricketer Ramiz Raja believes left-arm wrist-spinner Kuldeep Yadav’s inclusion in the Indian team was done keeping the Babar Azam-led side’s struggles against wrist spin, and expects him to take the most wickets during Saturday’s high-octane clash.

Kuldeep took 2-42 against Australia in India’s opening match of the 2023 Men’s ODI World Cup, and followed it up with economical figures of 1-40 against Afghanistan. Being the leading wicket-taker in 2023 this year for the Indian team, expect him to hold the key for Rohit Sharma & Co against Pakistan at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Saturday.

“I believe Virat Kohli will be the highest run-getter and will definitely give a key performance because of how well he does against them. Also, Pakistan’s bowling attack suits Kohli as well.”

“I also think that Kuldeep Yadav will be the highest wicket-taker. And I believe Yadav’s inclusion in the team has been done keeping Pakistan in mind because they struggle against wrist spin,” said Raja on JioCinema’s daily show ‘#AAKASHVANI’. IANS
