Due to the COVID-19 crisis in India, IPL 2020 will take place in UAE. Well, Kuldeep might miss playing in Eden Gardens. However, he’ll certainly enjoy bowling in the upcoming tournament. The pitches in Sharjah, Abu Dhabi and Dubai are known to favour the spinners while the boundaries are also on the larger side. Also, Yadav took 10 wickets from 6 matches in Asia Cup 2018 and the fact will certainly give him a lot of confidence.
Along with Kuldeep, KKR will also have the services of Pat Cummins, Eoin Morgan, Andre Russell and Sunil Narine. However, all these big names need to perform well as a unit in order to guide KKR to their third IPL title.
