Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) left-arm wrist-spinner Kuldeep Yadav believes, that if the team is able to strike the right combination, the team can certainly win the 13th edition of The Indian Premier League (IPL) which is to start from September 19.
Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) team has some of the best players like, Pat Cummins and Eoin Morgan in the IPL 2020. With the team having the right combination of youths and experience, Kuldeep Yadav believes that Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) have great chance of winning The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020.
Speaking to the official website of KKR, Kuldeep Yadav said:
“If we can strike a good combination, we can certainly win it this year or next year. After all, it’s cricket, we will win sooner or later”.
Kuldeep Yadav also recalled the memory of how close Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) came to the finals in 2018 IPL season, by saying:
” I remember the match we lost against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) ( in qualifier 2). I was out of the ground because my spell was over. They were on 125 and I thought they would not go beyond 145. But Rashid Khan came into the middle and changed the game”.
Kuldeep Yadav also recalls his Eden Gardens hattrick against Australia.
India played Australia in an ODI at the Eden Gardens a few years ago, and Kuldeep Yadav picked his first international hattrick.
Kuldeep Yadav said, that this was one of the best moments of his life:
“I got my first wicket of Matthew Wade and then in the next ball I plucked Ashton Agar. For the third ball, I asked Mahi Bhai (MS Dhoni) what to bowl. When you have so many variations, you get confused. He just let me do whatever I felt was right but suggested that I keep it to the stumps”. Said Kuldeep Yadav.
“I kept a slip and gully in place. Luckily I bowled a good ball and got the edge. Getting a hat-trick in Eden Garden, that too in the first year of international cricket is a big thing and this was one of the biggest moments of my life”. He added.
Kuldeep Yadav is hoping to have a strong IPL season for Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020. Indian Premier League ( IPL) 2020 is all set to start from September 19.
