Shoaib Akhtar on Kuldeep Yadav

Rawalpindi Express Shoaib Akhtar was concerned over Kuldeep Yadav‘s current form.

“Kuldeep to me looks be a bit subdued, he is not playing freely. He was never really in the game, that’s a worrying factor for India. Apart from Chahal, nobody looked like picking wickets in the middle over,” said former Pakistan star bowler.

India will lock horns against New Zealand in a two-match Test series starting from February 21.
