Kuldeep had a fantastic 2018, picking up 45 ODI wickets and 20 ODI wickets in 11 matches in 2019. After making his ODI debut in 2017, Kuldeep formed a strong partnership with Yuzvendra Chahal helping India to plenty of victories at home as well as away.
DK’s experience in the limited over format wasn’t ignored as his inclusion ended the long overdue speculation. He made his ODI debut way back in 2004 at Lord’s cricket ground and has shown good composure in the middle order which adds key to Team India’s playing 11.
Team India will get their World Cup campaign underway on 5th June against South Africa at the Rose Bowl, Southampton.
