England vs India 2018: Five things India should do ahead of the third ODI

#3 Use Kuldeep Yadav as a death bowler

Kuldeep Yadav

While death overs usually mean the last ten overs of an ODI, in recent times and the way England have played ODI cricket, the entire duration of the innings have sometimes felt like death overs. While India have employed a set pattern with their bowling changes, they can be a bit smarter while using Kuldeep Yadav.

His first spell should ideally be when there is a new man at the wicket or India wants to break a stand but for the rest of the innings, it might not be a bad ploy to use Kuldeep sparingly and in short bursts if the England batsmen are reading him like Joe Root and Eoin Morgan showed in the previous game.

Kuldeep's returns are valuable to the Indian side and hence must be used with utmost care. Him bowling when the batsmen are desperate for quick runs could result in them making more mistakes than expected.
