Team India’s newest spin sensation Kuldeep Yadav believes that bowling on concrete has made him battle-ready for any surface and this is the secret of his success in all kind of wickets.
“It doesn’t matter to me where I am playing because since my childhood I have bowled on cemented wickets. So if you can turn the ball on concrete then you can spin it anywhere,” Kuldeep said.
“If you have skill, good variation and are beating the batsmen in the air then you can find success anywhere,” added Kuldeep, who hails from the northern city of Kanpur.
“I started my career in 2004 as a fast bowler. After practising for a few months my coach advised me to switch to spin.
“I did not like it at the start, but the first ball I bowled was wrist spin and I had no idea what it was. So, he must have thought I have a talent and he worked on it.”
“Initially it was tough but when I got down to it, the hard work paid off.”
