Kuldeep Yadav Should Play Kanpur Test Against Bangladesh, Says India Star. Gives Reason
Middle-order batter Hanuma Vihari believes left-arm wrist-spinner Kuldeep Yadav has to be in the playing eleven for India's second Test against Bangladesh at Green Park Stadium in Kanpur, citing the need to have variety in the spin-bowling department on a black-soil pitch. With 53 wickets in 12 Tests since his debut in 2017, Kuldeep didn't play in India's 280-run win over Bangladesh in the first Test at Chennai, as India preferred to have a combination of three pacers and two spinners. But the knowledge of conditions at his home ground makes him an essential bowler for India to have in their playing eleven.

Pant 's performance earned him a lot of praise from both experts as well as fans and it also sparked a comparison with MS Dhoni in the race for the 'greatest wicket-keeper batter' for India.
