“Why does Jadeja bowl more? Because Jadeja’s hand is very fast. You need that air speed to defeat a batsman when the wicket is slowing down. And Manav Suthar bowls well with a new ball. So, honestly, if Kuldeep has to bowl in this condition, it has to be in the first 30 overs. You cannot bring him late. And a spinner’s rhythm cannot be formed from small spells. Already, as it is, his confidence is not that high. He has not played much. A bowler’s confidence is low. I had told you in the preview that it is important to support him. And when KL. Rahul came out after lunch today, he started with Kuldeep Yadav. Shubman was out of the field,” Ashwin added.
