“This is the best IPL season for me. I am enjoying my bowling. I don’t think what the batter will do and what if I get hit. My focus has been to bowl the right line and lengths,” said Kuldeep Yadav.
There has never been competition with him (Chahal). He’s like my big brother and has always backed me. He kept motivating me when I was injured and I hope he wins the Purple Cap,” he spoke about the IPL 2022 Purple Cap race.
The statement shows how the bonding between Team India players has reached another height. Earlier, India captain Rohit Sharma had defended Virat Kohli’s lean patch in international cricket in public during a press conference.
