Kuldeep owes a lot to Rishabh Pant in terms of getting him back on track: Abhinav Mukund

Former Indian opener Abhinav Mukund attributed Kuldeep Yadav's recent success to Rishabh Pant, who captains the spinner in the IPL at Delhi Capitals. Mukund opined that Pant backed Kuldeep at a time when his stocks were down and out in IPL and gave him a consistent run, boosting his confidence.

Speaking to Jio Cinema following the West Indies tour, Abhinav Mukund said:

"It’s Pant, he was the guy who backed him to the T in the IPL in terms of giving him the comeback. He (Kuldeep) was not sought after in terms of the IPL at that point. Pant actually backed him and gave him that run to give him confidence. Kuldeep owes a lot to Rishabh in terms of getting him back on track."

He added:

"He has worked on his bowling a lot. He has changed his run up, he was more angular when he started out. He has become a lot straighter. That means he is getting into the stride much faster than he was which is enabling him to bowl that flatter trajectory."
