Kuldeep Yadav on Replacing Rohit Sharma: It’s About Proximity to Jadeja

Kuldeep Yadav discussed his new seating arrangement on the team bus, explaining he now occupies the seat previously held by Rohit Sharma. He clarified that this move is less about replacing the former captain and more about being close to Ravindra Jadeja. With Ashwin’s absence, Jadeja’s experience is vital for the team, particularly for spinners. Kuldeep, who has played only one Test in England, values Jadeja’s insights. He acknowledged the significant contributions of retiring seniors like Kohli and Rohit, recognizing that their absence presents opportunities for younger players like Shubman Gill. The team faces challenges adapting to English conditions, which will test the batters.
