India spoilt Kuldeep Yadav's confidence after second T20I against West Indies, says Kris Srikkanth

Former World Cup champion Kris Srikkanth has expressed strong disapproval regarding how the national team handled wrist-spinner Kuldeep Yadav following a tough outing. During the second fixture of the ongoing five-game series against the visitors on October 9, 2026, the hosts amassed a total of 249 for 5 after batting first.

However, the opposing side successfully chased down the 252-run target in 18.3 overs, losing just four wickets to secure a six-wicket victory.

Srikkanth pointed out that Kuldeep Yadav conceded 53 runs in his four overs during that match, which led to him being completely dropped from the playing lineup for the subsequent third game. The former cricketer argued that benching the bowler severely damaged his morale after a single difficult performance against a batting lineup he considers to have depth despite weak bowling.
