Kuldeep Yadav's last overseas Test was in August last year, when he was surprisingly picked as a second spin option in the second encounter of the five-match series at Lord's. The first day had been totally washed out, and Day Two dawned damp and bleak and overcast, yet India chose to go in with two spinners in R Ashwin and Kuldeep, with predictably disastrous results.
Ashwin went wicketless in 17 overs while conceding 68, Kuldeep's nine overs yielded 44 in India's only bowl of the match. James Anderson, Stuart Broad, Chris Woakes and Sam Curran picked all 19 wickets to fall to the bowlers as England completed a commanding innings win, showing up the Indian think-tank's wisdom.
