Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal: Return of ‘Kulcha’: After two years, these two Indian cricketers landed together on the field, such was the performance. Kuldeep Yadav Yuzvendra Chahal return together after two years India vs Sri Lanka ODI

Before the Corona era, when cricket was being played continuously, then two players of the Indian team had created a lot of noise around the world. We are talking about the spinner duo of Yuzvendra Chahal and Kuldeep Yadav. This pair of Indian bowlers wreaked havoc on different teams on all the grounds that it was not difficult for people to forget the likes of Ravichandran Ashwin and Harbhajan Singh in limited overs cricket. On Sunday, both of them returned to the field together once again after two years.

Their pair is also known as ‘Kulcha’. In the first ODI against Sri Lanka in Colombo on Sunday, when captain Shikhar Dhawan and coach Rahul Dravid selected the playing-11, both these players were given a place in it. The pair of Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal was last seen playing together in an ODI match in 2019. He was bowling in front of England in that ODI match played in Birmingham. But after that, Kuldeep was constantly ignored for two years and the pair did not appear to play together again.

He dismissed opener Minod Bhanuka (27 runs) and Bhanuka Rajapaksa (24 runs) who came to bat at number three. Both these wickets came through catches.
