"Used To Be Made To Sit At Home": Mohammad Kaif Criticises KKR's Treatment Of Indian Spinner In IPL 2022

Having not played a single game during IPL 2021, Kuldeep Yadav was released by Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) after their campaign ended with a defeat to Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the final. The spinner was purchased by Delhi Capitals (DC) during the IPL mega auction for Rs 2 crore and since then has taken IPL 2022 by storm. The Indian spinner received the 'Player of the Match' award for his brilliant performance in the win against Mumbai Indians (MI) in Match 2, at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai. Former India cricketer Mohammad Kaif praised Kuldeep's performance against Mumbai and also criticised KKR for their treatment of the bowler.

"Dhoni Knew How To Use Ashwin": Parthiv Patel On Spinner's Performance In IPL Post CSK Stint

Considered to be one of the best spinners in modern-day cricket, Ravichandran Ashwin has been a mainstay of India's Test team, but has found it hard to cement a spot in the white-ball outfits since 2017. The veteran was part of India's disastrous T20 World Cup campaign last year, and will be aiming to use his performance in IPL 2022 for a spot in this year's T20 World Cup in Australia. The 35-year-old was released by Delhi Capitals (DC) after IPL 2021 and was purchased by Rajasthan Royals (RR) in the mega auction for Rs 5 crore. He made his IPL debut with Chennai Super Kings (CSK), and his performances under the stewardship of MS Dhoni saw him get a spot in India's 2011 ICC World Cup-winning squad.

IPL 2022: Mumbai Indians' Murugan Ashwin Believes Spinners "Can Do A Lot" On Mumbai Pitch

Spinner Murugan Ashwin, who made a brilliant debut for Mumbai Indians (MI) by picking 2 wickets, said that wrist spinners like him and Delhi Capitals' Kuldeep Yadav could be a force to reckon with on the Mumbai pitch. Kuldeep registered figures of 3/18, and Murugan Ashwin felt they both did the same thing on the pitch. "Both me and Kuldeep had a good game, wrist spinners, with our variations, we can do a lot off the wicket. Both of us hit the right lengths, bowled the right speeds, it's a good wicket to bat and the lines were important, we had to be precise to put the batters on the backfoot and force them to do something," said Murugan Ashwin in a post-match conference.

"...Quit Cricket": Ex-Pakistan Spinner Saeed Ajmal To Those Complaining About "Flat Pitches"

There has been a lot of talk around the pitch ever since the Pakistan vs Australia Test series began earlier this month. Tons of runs have been scored by batters of both sides in the two drawn Tests so far with bowlers having to toil hard on pitches that had little help for seamers and spinners alike. The pitch for the first Test in Rawalpindi, where close to 1200 runs were scored in just three innings at the cost of only 14 wickets, was in fact rated as "below average" by ICC. Although Australian seamers managed to bowl Pakistan out for 148 in the first innings of the second Test in Karachi after posting 500-plus in their first innings, the hosts bated for 171.4 overs in the fourth innings to walk away with a draw. Amid all the discussion around how pitches in Pakistan have so far made matters difficult for the bowlers, former Pakistan spinners Saeed Ajmal shared a slightly different opinion.
