India returned to winning ways in the World Test Championship after a 165-run victory over Sri Lanka in the first Test at the Galle International Stadium on Wednesday. Four days after that win, the visitors will be back in action in Colombo for the second and final Test. India will be pleased with most aspects of their performance in Galle, but Kuldeep's form remains one of the major talking…
NEW DELHI: Team India's head coach Gautam Gambhir has encouraged Kuldeep Yadav as the left-arm wrist spinner had a subdued performance in the first Test against Sri Lanka in Galle. Despite bowling 25 overs in the two innings, Kuldeep managed to take just one wicket. The Sri Lankan batting lineup was heavily impacted by Manav Suthar and Ravindra Jadeja, who took most of the wickets.
However, ahead of the second Test in Colombo, which begins on Sunday, Gambhir urged Kuldeep to focus on bowling his best spell instead of being desperate for wickets. This advice comes as India seeks to regain their winning form after a 165-run victory in the first Test at Galle. Four days after that victory, India will face Sri Lanka once again in the second and final Test in Colombo.
