Sanjay Manjrekar was pleased with Kuldeep Yadav’s performance against the Gujarat Titans. The former Indian cricket player stated that Kuldeep may be at the pinnacle of his career and compared his style of bowling to that of Yuzvendra Chahal and Jasprit Bumrah at their best.
Manjrekar thought the top bowler’s self-assurance was at an all-time high and believed he would deliver a good performance for India. He continued by saying that Yadav appeared to be relishing his role as DC’s strike bowler and asserted that the victorious bowler picks up wickets at pivotal points in the game.
“Yes. In terms of abilities and self-assurance, this could be considered Kuldeep Yadav’s best performance to date. As you can see, he’s now acting like the best Chahal or Bumrah around. Manjrekar told the broadcasters, “He is deserving of that type of respect.
“He looks comfortable with the responsibility and champions, you know, those breaks and those moments that you are seeking at the right time,” he said.
In the match versus DC, Kuldeep bowled an outstanding stint. In the run pursuit, GT was positioned well to defend 225. David Miller and Sai Sudarshan’s knock put them in a strong position to win the match. DC required a ball handler to step up on a flat wicket. Kuldeep had a fantastic stint, taking two crucial wickets in his four overs while only giving up 29 runs.

Manjrekar discussed the 29-year-old’s performance versus GT. The former Indian batsman believed that with David Miller and Rahul Tewatia in the middle, DC needed a wicket. He felt that Tewatia’s dismissal by Kuldeep was the last straw that would stop GT from chasing the run.
“DC wanted a wicket in today’s last over. They simply grabbed the game there after getting Tewatia’s wicket, Manjrekar thought.

Kuldeep is a champion bowler because of Manjrekar’s assessment of his ability to take crucial wickets. With Ravindra Jadeja as the all-rounder, Manjrekar believed that Kuldeep should be the second spinner in India’s T20 World Cup 2024 team.
Thus, Kuldeep has developed into a bowling champion at this point, and we really ought to mark him down. Kuldeep would be the second spinner and Ravindra Jadeja would be the left-arm spinner batter, Manjrekar said in his announcement.
