Kuldeep Yadav’s sudden loss of form in the ongoing IPL will not in any way impact his performance in the World Cup where he will have ample chance of a comeback, feels senior off-spinner Harbhajan Singh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kuldeep,\n who is expected to be a vital cog in India’s World Cup campaign, has \ngot only four wickets in nine games for Kolkata Knight Riders in the IPL\n and was dropped in the last game against Sunrisers Hyderabad due to \n“poor form”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“There is no doubt that Kuldeep is going through a \nrough patch in IPL. T20 is a format which can destroy the confidence of \nany bowler but let’s not compare formats. One-day is a different ball \ngame and you will see a very different Kuldeep,” Harbhajan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“I \nhave watched a bit of his bowling and I don’t think there is any \ntechnical problems. And please check who all are hitting Kuldeep? The \nIndian guys are primarily hitting him. Virat in two games, Mayank, \nMandy, Prithvi Shaw, Shreyas Iyer, Shikhar Dhawan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Leave aside \nVirat, who is in a different league, all these guys are competent \nplayers of spin bowling. They read Kuldeep’s wrists much better than \nforeign batsmen. So in World Cup, Kuldeep will be bowling mostly to \nthose who are still not reading him well. I think you will see a \ndifferent Kuldeep,” said Harbhajan, who has played two World Cup finals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“If\n he is getting hit by giving the deliveries more air, for a change, he \ncan just push it a bit faster. If they are stepping out and hitting from\n length, he can just alter the length by half a yard. Now when you get \nhit, your mind does not work automatically. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
“So there comes in \nthe captain, who should tell him, ‘Okay, you have tried your thing, now \ntry what I am telling you’. It helps a youngster,” said the player who \nhas been a part of two most successful franchises in CSK and Mumbai \nIndians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“He may get hit but in the middle overs, the skipper \nwill pack one side of the field, whether it’s inside 30-yard circle or \noutside. Even if he is hit for two fours, he can come back with figures \nof 3\/50 or 2 for 45 on most days. And that’s decent figures. In ODIs, \nyou have to be a real bad bowler to go for 75-80 runs everyday,” said \nHarbhajan, who has 269 wickets from 236 ODIs.\n\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
