Kuldeep Yadav was not handled well by Kolkata Knight Riders in the last few editions of the IPL. "I don't think he has been handled well in the IPL for the last few seasons, he is a player who rides very much on confidence. In the environment we've created at Delhi Capitals with Ricky Ponting and Rishabh Pant, it is something that we want to give him. He has a lot to prove, and I think the fire in his belly is there and we are very keen to see what he does in the next IPL," Jindal said on 'Auction Alert with Boria'.

Taking to Twitter, Vaughan wrote, "Just don't understand why Adil Rashid doesn't go for big bucks at the #IPL !!! One of the best T20 game changers yet still doesn't get picked up !!!"
