Kuldeep Yadav is projected to be India's top spinner for the upcoming tournament starting on February 19, provided he can attain full fitness. Fans will be delighted to witness a video showcasing Yadav in action, bowling in the nets. The footage captures him delivering throwdowns to a coach as well as participating in live net sessions against rival batters.

Kuldeep was a key member of the team as India finally ended their ICC trophy drought with a victory in the ICC T20 World Cup in the West Indies and Barbados last year, playing a starring role on slow and turning tracks as he formed a strong spin partnership with Delhi Capitals teammate Axar Patel.
Yadav was one of the missing ingredients as India also lost the Border-Gavaskar Trophy to Australia earlier this month, with the spinner likely to have made an impact with his left-arm wrist-spin, especially following the retirement of Ravichandran Ashwin midway through the series.
Timeline for Kuldeep's returnYadav isn’t part of the squad for the upcoming five-match T20I series against England commencing on January 22, but could be in contention for the subsequent three-match ODI series beginning on February 5 as he looks to achieve match fitness in time for the crucial 50-over tournament in Pakistan and the UAE.
Kuldeep was a key part of India’s largely-successful ODI World Cup campaign in 2023 as well, even as the team fell at the final hurdle to Australia. Yadav has re-established himself as India’s premier spinner, with his unique bowling style making him a one-of-a-kind attacking option in the middle overs of the 50-over format.
India will hope that Kuldeep’s preparations such as in the clip he has shared are going well, with Kuldeep having marked his return to the national team with increased speed and bite. Whether the injury plays a part in his performance remains to be seen, but the series vs England could provide an indication if he achieves fitness in time.
