Kuldeep. One of my favorite. Unfortunately he is mentally not aggressive. Chahal/Ashwin can also lose it when attacked. But Kuldeep is a different level in that regard. Kuldeep is one guy (besides Ashwin sometimes) who can pick wickets in limited overs even when they try to defend. He doesn't rely on batsmen going after him. He can totally bamboozle. His record is still staggering in limited over. Some absolute roads dented his confidence. He never came back. If you want Kuldeep's career to be revived he should have a season or two with CSK.

If given a choice even when they had similar forms, or Kuldeep in better form, Brat picked his midget buddy 7-8 times out of 10. Admittedly his 2019/20 IPL stints weren't great either but he never got much game time post 2019 WC to get into any sort of rhythm or improve. The same happened with KL, he was doing fine towards 2017 end but then Brat had other plans for his serial catch dropper/thigh slapper friend & basically made a mockery of the test opening slot that year! If it wasn't for some luck & sheer hard work by KL his (test) career was done Say what you will about Kuldeep's own dip in form or mental state we've had by far the worst captain I've seen in the past 25+ years picking & choosing his sh!t buddies over in form or better suited players in virtually all positions! Oh did I mention Pant Edited October 23, 2021 by R!TTER Link to comment

Oh did I mention Pant I dearly would love Kuldeep to reinvent himself and come back. He can singlehandedly turn matches around on its head. He has that potential. At this point he is not ready yet. More beating will hurt him even more. An year with CSK will make him better. Link to comment
maniac Posted October 23, 2021 Author Share Posted October 23, 2021 Let me rephrase my Op would you pick Rahul C (on current form)over Chahal (if he was available on current form ) in the X1? question for @SK_IH @ShoonyaSifar @The Realist @velu @R!TTER Link to comment

Chahal was excluded not based on a 4-5 matches but due to his abysmal performances over last 2-3 years. Also, during this period, his IPL form in the has meant absolutely nothing in T20Is. Also, if IPL form is the benchmark, we should be having Dhawan over Rohit Sharma and Harshal Patel over Bhuvi. Vijy 1 Link to comment

I'd pick Axar or Sundar over him, in part because of their batting. Link to comment
