We cannot go to South Africa without him, says Ashwin backing Kuldeep Yadav for 2027 ODI World Cup

Veteran Indian spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has strongly endorsed Kuldeep Yadav, stating that the team cannot travel to South Africa for the 2027 ODI World Cup without him. Ashwin's remarks followed Kuldeep's stellar display in the opening match of the series against West Indies, where the bowler claimed four wickets for 40 runs and earned the Player of the Match accolade.

The crucial bowling spell helped dismantle the opposing batting order after a strong opening partnership, paving the way for an eight-wicket victory anchored by Virat Kohli's unbeaten 139.
