Kuldeep owes a lot to Rishabh in terms of getting him back on track: Abhinav Mukund

Meanwhile, former Indian cricketer Abhinav Mukund recently talked about India’s veteran leg-spinner Kuldeep Yadav and said that he owes a lot to Pant as he backed him in his difficult phase and gave him a place in the playing XI in Delhi Capitals’ squad after he was released by Kolkata Knight Riders.

“He has worked on his bowling a lot. He has changed his run-up, he was more angular when he started out. He has become a lot straighter. That means he is getting into the stride much faster than he was which is enabling him to bowl that flatter trajectory.” Mukund was quoted as saying by India Today.

“And the confidence as well, one man that we seldom mention in the last 6 months. It’s Rishabh Pant, he was the guy who backed him to the T in the IPL in terms of giving him the comeback. He (Kuldeep) was not sought after in terms of the IPL at that point. Rishabh Pant actually backed him and gave him that run to give him confidence. Kuldeep owes a lot to Rishabh in terms of getting him back on track,” he added.
