IND vs NZ: Kuldeep, Chakaravarthy might not get a T20I match, says India spin bowling coach Bahutule

India spin coach Sairaj Bahutule has confirmed that Kuldeep Yadav and Varun Chakaravarthy are unlikely to feature in the remaining T20I matches against New Zealand. Despite the team holding a 3-1 series lead, the management remains committed to their current bowling rotation, leaving the two spinners on the bench for four consecutive games.

Bahutule noted that both players understand the selection strategy and continue to train diligently while awaiting their chance.

Following a heavy 87-run loss where India conceded 259 runs, the coaching staff is evaluating their options for the final match and upcoming ODIs. Bahutule praised the versatility of Axar Patel and hinted that Abhishek Sharma is also developing his spin bowling skills during practice sessions to provide additional depth.
