Former India all-rounder Madan Lal has advised T20I captain Suryakumar Yadav to show more faith in spinner Kuldeep Yadav during the upcoming Asia Cup. Lal believes Kuldeep’s unique wrist-spin style is ideal for T20 cricket and should be part of India’s playing XI in Dubai.
Gill’s England Approach Criticised
Kuldeep did not feature in any of the five Tests during India’s tour of England under Shubman Gill’s leadership. Lal urged Suryakumar not to repeat that cautious selection strategy, suggesting that India missed an opportunity to use Kuldeep’s skills in challenging conditions.
Asia Cup Selection Sparks Debate
India’s Asia Cup squad announcement stirred controversy, especially over Shreyas Iyer’s inclusion. Lal and other experts questioned the team combination, but remain confident that India can overcome off-field noise and aim for a record ninth Asia Cup title.
India’s Key Challenges
India will face tough competition from Pakistan and Sri Lanka, while Afghanistan and Bangladesh are known for causing upsets. With the T20 World Cup returning to home soil next year, the Asia Cup serves as a crucial test for Suryakumar’s leadership and team strategy.
