Left-arm wrist-spinner Kuldeep Yadav found a place in Team India's playing XI for the first Test against Bangladesh. His last appearance in the longest format came in the second Test against England at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai in 2021.Stand-in skipper KL Rahul opted to go with three spinners, much like Bangladesh did. Kuldeep piped the likes of Shardul Thakur and Saurabh Kumar to find a spot in the team as the third spinner, with Ravichandran Ashwin and Axar Patel being the obvious candidates to feature in subcontinent conditions.The Uttar Pradesh-born spinner has made eight Test appearances since making his debut in the 2017 Border Gavaskar Series against Australia. While Kuldeep had a fairly impressive start to his international red-ball career, he was not in contention to break into the playing XI due to the immense depth of spinners in Indian cricket.He recently featured in the third ODI against Bangladesh after coming in as a late injury replacement. He finished with figures of 1-53 from his 10 overs.Fans expressed their delight at the return of Kuldeep, that too on the occasion of his 28th birthday.

Holds a very important place in this Indian Test team. #INDvsBAN #BANvINDTeam India win the toss and opt to bat firstKL Rahul leads India in the absence of Rohit Sharma, who has been ruled out of the first Test due to a thumb injury.Rahul had no hesitation in choosing to bat first after winning the toss on what is expected to be a good batting surface in Chattogram. The skipper said during the toss:"We will bat first. It looks like a good wicket. We want to put runs on the board and hopefully, some cracks open up a little. There have been a few injuries but that does give an opportunity to the other guys. "Everyone's up for the challenge. Kuldeep Yadav comes in. Three spinners, alongside Ashwin and Axar. Two medium pacers in Umesh Yadav and Mohammed Siraj."Team India playing XI:KL Rahul (c), Shubman Gill, Cheteshwar Pujara, Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant (wk), Shreyas Iyer, Ravichandran Ashwin, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Umesh Yadav, Mohammed Siraj.This marks India's first Test at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium since 2010. The Men in Blue are yet to record a defeat in Tests against Bangladesh across 11 matches.Have the management made the right call by including Kuldeep Yadav in the playing XI?
