England vs India 2018: 5 key players for India in the Test series

#: Kuldeep Yadav

Kuldeep Yadav will be looking to carry over his good limited overs form into the Test series

1st T20I: 5/24

2nd T20I: 0/34

3rd T20I: Dropped

1st ODI: 6/25

2nd ODI: 3/68

3rd ODI: 0/55

Such has been the tour for Kuldeep thus far, with rapid swings from hot to cold. Though it remains to be seen if Kuldeep is picked in the XI against England, he will have to be on top of his game as the English batsmen played him much better in the last two ODIs, with the 3 wickets coming off aggressive shots.

Joe Root, in particular, has posed a challenge for Kuldeep and the other bowlers as he came back spectacularly after being in patchy form. Outfoxing these batsmen is a difficult task for Kuldeep. What he has shown though, is an ability to come back from seemingly being ‘figured out’ as he showed in the first ODI.
