Kuldeep is currently in Australia as part of the Indian Test squad but he is yet to get a game. India is playing the second Test against Australia in Perth and despite R Ashwin being rested for the game, Kuldeep wasn't even included in the 13-man list before the game.
In the Perth Test on Day 1, Australia were 277/6 at stumps. Marcus Harris (70) and Travis Head (58) added helpful half-centuries. Pat Cummins (11) and skipper Tim Paine (16) will continue their innings tomorrow as India will look to wrap things up early.
All the six wickets fell in the post-lunch session. India was wicket-less in the first session. Speedster Ishant Sharma and part-time spinner Hanuma Vihari claiming two each. Fast bowlers Jasprit Bumrah and Umesh Yadav bagged one wicket each.
