Former Pakistan cricket team captain Intikhab Alam has praised Indian spinner Kuldeep Yadav as the best among the spinners set to participate in the upcoming World Cup, scheduled to begin a few days from now. In an interview with an Indian news agency, the former Pakistani captain stated that during the World Cup, Kuldeep Yadav will play a crucial role in the middle overs for his team, and his role will be significant in the match against Pakistan on October 14th.
Intikhab Alammentioned that India performed exceptionally well in the Asia Cup and defeated Sri Lanka in the final. However, he believes that in the context of the World Cup, Kuldeep Yadav will test all the best batsmen from various teams. He also expressed concern about India having both Kuldeep Yadav and Jadeja, stating that their spin attack is highly dangerous.
Alam stated his opinion that Kuldeep Yadav is the best spinner in the current World Cup, and the inclusion of experienced players like Ravichandran Ashwin in the Indian team has made their bowling even stronger.
When it comes to batting, he noted that apart from Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, India has formidable batsmen like Shikhar Dhawan, who can help India become a strong contender for the trophy.
