Sometimes, I miss MS Dhoni’s guidance: Kuldeep Yadav opens up about difficult phase in career

Kuldeep Yadav conceded that it has been a difficult phase for him at the highest level, adding that he started doubting his credentials, especially after he was benched in Chennai during IPL 2021.

India wrist-spinner Kuldeep Yadav has conceded that he misses MS Dhoni's guidance from behind the stumps as the former captain's retirement has coincided with his dip in form in international cricket. Kuldeep, who has played only 2 ODIs and a Test in 2021 conceded that he has been low on confidence after not getting enough game time both at the international level and at the Indian Premier League. Kuldeep Yadav said a wrist-spinner like him loves bowling with partners and pointed out that Yuzvendra Chahal and he haven't played a lot together since MS Dhoni retired from international cricket. Notably, Kuldeep and Chahal have spoken in the past about the impact wicketkeeper Dhoni has had on their games.
