Senior off-spinner Harbhajan Singh feels that the sudden fall in Kuldeep Yadav's current form in the IPL will not affect his performance in the World Cup, where he will have a lot of return.
Kuldeep is expected to become an important bowler in India's World Cup campaign, he has picked four wickets in nine matches for the Kolkata Knight Riders in IPL and due to poor form, he was not fed in the last match against Sunrisers Hyderabad.
Harbhajan said on Wednesday, "There is no doubt that Kuldeep is going through bad form in the IPL. T20 is a format that can drop a bowler's morale but not compare the format. One-day format is totally different and you will see a different Kuldeep. '
He said that this wrist spinner has no technical problem. He said, "I have seen his bowling slightly and I do not think there is a technical problem. And you see who is making runs against Kuldeep? Indian players are mainly collecting runs against them. In the two matches Virat Kohli, Mayank Agarwal, Mandeep, Prithvi Shaw, Shreyas Iyer and Shikhar Dhawan are making runs.
Harbhajan, who played two World Cup finals, said, "Leave Virat, all these players play spin bowling better. They read Kuldeep's artwork better than the foreign batsmen. So Kuldeep in the World Cup will mostly bowl to the batsmen who can not read it well. I think you will see Kuldeep completely. '
Kuldeep was retained by the Kolkata Knight Riders team for Rs 5.8 crore. But his performance in the IPL's current season was quite lucky. He has taken 4 wickets in 9 matches played so far.
