He is one of those players who needs rest.

#5 Kolkata Knight Riders- Kuldeep Yadav

Kuldeep Yadav will be without any doubt will make it to the final 15 of the Indian World Cup squad and is a vital cog for the Kolkata Knight Riders as well. But India will want him at his full fitness for the world cup.

As India have invested a lot in Kuldeep and Yuzuvendra Chahal, them being in injured or even carrying a niggle for the world cup is the last thing that the Indian team will want.

Coming to the Kolkata Knight Riders, they have enough spinners to replace Kuldeep in Piyush Chawla. And also Sunil Narine will be available for the most part of the season which may not make Kuldeep's absence that much severe.

Yes, he is an important asset that any captain can have but Dinesh Karthik needs to use his chinaman bowler much more carefully in this season.
