"Normal For Me To Not Get Picked Due To...": Kuldeep Yadav's Big Confession

IND vs WI: Kuldeep Yadav snapped 4 for 6 in just three overs to lead India to a five-wicket win in the first ODI against the West Indies.

Getting dropped due to conditions that require a specific playing combination has been a "normal" thing for Kuldeep Yadav and the left-arm wrist spinner believes that it is better to make every opportunity count than fret on chances that he lost over the years. The Kanpur man snapped 4 for 6 in just three overs to lead India to a five-wicket win in the first ODI against the West Indies on Thursday.

He won the 'Player of the Match' award and it would be fair to say that his googlies (one that turns away from right handers) were at times unreadable.

"Most of the times, when I don't get to play it is because of the situation and combination. It is a normal thing now. I have been playing cricket for so many years, it has been more than six years now. These things are normal," he told reporters during the post-match press conference.

While dropping his guard for a split second, he was back to speaking about "process" and how he focusses on his length rather than obsessing about taking wickets.

"I don't think much about taking wickets now. My focus is more on the process that what length I should be bowling," he said.
