Delhi Capitals’ star spinner Kuldeep Yadav has been advised to have rest as the left-arm chinaman has picked up a groin niggle. The niggle was the reason for Kuldeep missing out on DC’s previous two matches – one against the Chennai Super Kings and and the other against Kolkata Knight Riders on March 31 and April 3, respectively.
According to a report in ESPNCricinfo, the spinner has been advised to rest as a precautionary move and there is no date confirmed for his return to action. Notably, the injury is possibly not very serious as he is on the road with the Capitals and is even present with the team in Mumbai, where they will face Hardik Pandya‘s MI on April 7.
DC captain Rishabh Pant opened up on Kuldeep’s first absence against CSK on March 31. “We’ll bat first. Wicket looks good, we want to use it as a batting track, put runs on the board. (On playing home games in Vizag) I think it makes a lot of difference, but we practiced here. We came here and got 10 days at this wicket. Two changes – Kuldeep had a niggle, and Prithvi Shaw comes in. Ricky Bhui is out, Ishant Sharma comes in,” Pant said before the CSK game.
