England vs India 2018: 4 players who should be dropped for the third Test

England v India: Specsavers 2nd Test - Day Four
England v India: Specsavers 2nd Test - Day Four

#3 Kuldeep Yadav

A poor

Seems harsh but it was never Kuldeep's mistake. The 23-year-old cannot be blamed for his performances in the second Test.

Though he troubled the English batsman throughout the limited-overs series, it was not a great decision from Virat Kohli to include him for the second Test. The condition at Lord's certainly helped the swing bowlers and India made a bizarre decision to include two spinners in the team.

Lack of a third genuine seamer from India has allowed England's middle and lower order to settle. Kuldeep Yadav bowled only nine overs in the game and went for 44 runs without troubling the English batsman. Umesh Yadav or Jasprit Bumrah will have to come for the third Test.
