Kuldeep has skills to be successful in England: Bharat Arun backs wrist spinner ahead of Test series

Former India bowling coach praises Kuldeep Yadav's wrist-spin skills and potential impact in upcoming England Test series

"Kuldeep has got enough skills to be successful in England - Bharat Arun"

Kolkata, June 7

With the all-important five-match Test series taking place in England from June 20, former India bowling coach Bharat Arun has backed left-arm chinaman bowler Kuldeep Yadav, saying the wrist-spinner can be a key weapon in English conditions.

While speaking to Boria Majumdar on Revsportz, Arun said, "Wrist spinners have always been effective, especially in England. Maybe even initially, when there is a little bit of dampness in the wicket, there is help for those wrist spinners. And also, the roughs that the bowlers create. But again, using the rough is a separate art."

Arun couldn't help drawing comparisons with some of the greats of the game, stressing that wrist spin has always been a part of the sport.

"It's not just about bowling. I think somebody who instantly comes to our mind is Shane Warne. I think Kuldeep has got enough skills to be successful in England," he remarked.

India's new-look bowling attack will also hope their young guns rise to the occasion in England. According to Arun, these young talents have plenty of potential despite their inexperience.

"If you look at this bowling attack, yes, it is relatively inexperienced, but it's got huge potential," he added.

Kuldeep Yadav, in good touch across formats of late, may have a significant role to play in India's plans especially if conditions start to turn and bounce as the Test matches progress.

India's Test squad for England series: Shubman Gill (c), Rishabh Pant (vc), Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Sai Sudharsan, Abhimanyu Easwaran, Karun Nair, Nitish Reddy, Ravindra Jadeja, Dhruv Jurel, Washington Sundar, Shardul Thakur, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna, Akash Deep, Arshdeep Singh, Kuldeep Yadav.

Kuldeep has been in brilliant form recently! His variations could really trouble English batsmen, especially if the pitch starts wearing. Remember how well he bowled in the last England tour? Fingers crossed for another magical performance 🇮🇳 #KuldeepMagic

While I agree Kuldeep has skills, I'm worried about our inexperienced bowling attack overall. England conditions can be brutal for young bowlers. Hope the management gives them proper guidance and support.

Comparing Kuldeep to Warne is a bit much no? Let's not put that pressure on him. He's a good bowler in his own right and should be allowed to develop his own legacy. The English media will jump on any such comparisons.

Excited to see how our spin duo of Jadeja and Kuldeep performs! England may prepare green tops but as Bharat Arun said, the roughs created by pacers could be goldmines for our spinners later in the matches. Strategic patience will be key 🔑

Good to see Bharat Arun's confidence in the young attack. Remember how our bowlers surprised everyone in Australia? This team has that same fearless energy. Kuldeep's googly could be the x-factor we need against left-handers like Stokes.

Hope the team management gives Kuldeep consistent chances instead of dropping him after one bad match. Wrist spinners need time to settle, and he's proven his worth in recent years. #BackKuldeep
