The last time England's "Bazballers" faced Kuldeep Yadav, they found it tough to pick his length, variations, and to some extent, loop as well.

Although Kuldeep won't have fond memories of England, where he had a forgettable experience at Lord's in 2018, at 30, with more maturity and improved skillsets, he can be India's trump card.
