Before the Test match against Bangladesh at Chattogram, left-arm wrist-spinner Kuldeep Yadav last played a Test match 22 months ago. But on a slow and low pitch at Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium, Kuldeep spun his way back to his third five-wicket haul in Tests as Bangladesh were bowled out for 150 in first innings.
Now, speaking in the post-match press conference after the end of day four, India bowling coach Paras Mhambrey appreciated Kuldeep for excelling in the format on his comeback and working on everything related to his bowling and stand up for India, like he did at Chattogram.
"Very heartening to see the way he bowled. Knowing the effort he put in on a flat wicket here, speaks a lot about the character, and the attitude he carries in the game. This is how he turns up in every game and in every Test match. From a coaching perspective, he always gives you the feeling that he will be picking the wickets and that's what he did on a placid pitch – picked wickets in first innings and created opportunities for scalps in second innings."
