Kuldeep Yadav last played a Test for India in SCG on the 2018-19 tour of Australia.
Former India cricketer Wasim Jaffer feels for spinner Kuldeep Yadav who is waiting for his turn to get into the playing XI for a long time. Kuldeep was in the squad on the Australia tour but didn't get a single match even though there were numerous injuries in the side.
Jaffer rightly pointed out how Kuldeep is traveling from one bio-bubble to another and eventually only warming the bench. Posting a tweet, the ex-cricketer encouraged the spinner to not lose hope and wait for the opportunity.

"Can't help but feel sad for @imkuldeep18. Since August he's been traveling from one bio-bubble to another but hasn't really got a chance to showcase his talent. But don't lose hope Kuldeep. You have done it before and I'm sure given an opportunity you will do it again. #INDvsENG," tweeted Jaffer.
India went ahead with three spinners in the first Test against England but Kuldeep still couldn't be one of them. Shahbaz Nadeem got included in the side after Akshar Patel was ruled out because of injury.
After the Test series win on the Australia tour, stand-in skipper Ajinkya Rahane had praised Kuldeep for his attitude despite not playing in the entire series.
"I just want to mention Kuldeep Yadav and Kartik Tyagi. Kuldeep, I know it was tough for you, you did not play a game here but your attitude was really good. Your time will come, just keep working hard. Kartik you were fantastic," said Rahane while addressing the Indian team in a video posted on the official website of BCCI.
