After two years of disappointment in KKR, Kuldeep has found success once again this season.

Kuldeep’s performance declined drastically after MS Dhoni retired from Team India. But Rishabh Pant guides him from behind the stumps.

He Guides Well

IPL 2022: I think Rishabh is showing some glimpse of MS Dhoni’s characteristics behind the stumps, said Kuldeep Yadav in a podcast with Delhi Capitals.

He guides well and remains calm on the field. The wicketkeeper plays a big role in the success of the spinners. The credit for my performance in this IPL also goes to Rishabh.

  • Kuldeep Yadav with MS Dhoni behind the stumps.
  • Kuldeep has picked up 23 of his 41 T20I wickets with Dhoni behind the stumps with a strike rate of 11.7.
  • Without Dhoni, he has picked up only 18 wickets in 12 T20I matches.
  • 91 of his 109 wickets in ODIs came behind the stumps of Dhoni with an economy rate of only 4.86.
  • In the remaining 19 matches, he has taken only 18 wickets.

The Great Performance Pant:-

IPL 2022: Kuldeep Yadav is doing well again under the leadership of Rishabh Pant. In IPL 2022, he has taken 13 wickets in 7 matches, with Pant guiding him from behind the stumps.

This is his second-best IPL performance. If he gets five more wickets in 7 matches, he will record his best IPL performance. He took 17 wickets in IPL 2018.

Ricky Ponting Inspired

In the podcast, Kuldeep Yadav said that when you are given the freedom to express yourself, you start enjoying everything.

When I spoke to Ricky during my first practice session with the team, he told me that I was bowling very well.

He wants me to play all league matches. That conversation with him inspired me a lot. Kuldeep also credited his success to assistant coach Shane Watson. The former Australian all-rounder has been guiding him at DC.
