India’s left-arm wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav shared a picture with veteran all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja as the duo enjoyed a rainy day in London on Saturday, June 7. Both the star players were last seen in action during the 2025 IPL season.
Kuldeep, representing Delhi Capitals (DC), picked up 15 wickets in 14 matches, although the team narrowly missed out on the playoffs, finishing fifth on the points table. Jadeja had a mixed season with Chennai Super Kings (CSK), scoring 301 runs and picking up 10 wickets. CSK endured a disappointing campaign, ending at the bottom of the standings.
The two will next be in action during the five-match Test series against England, starting June 20 at Headingley, Leeds. The team kicked off its preparations with the first practice session on June 7. On the same day, Kuldeep posted a photo with Jadeja on his Instagram stories, showing the two smiling and enjoying the rainy London weather.

“He would be a handful to deal with” - Former India bowling coach backs the inclusion of Kuldeep Yadav in Playing XI for the England Tests
Former India bowling coach Bharat Arun has expressed strong support for Kuldeep Yadav’s selection in India’s playing XI for the upcoming five-Test series against England. Speaking to RevSportz, he stated:
“Yes, I would play Kuldeep Yadav. Even if not in the first innings, second innings, he would be a handful to deal with. Wrist spinners have always been effective, especially in England. Maybe even initially, when there is a little bit of dampness in the wicket, there is help for those wrist spinners.” “And also, the roughs that the bowlers create. But again, using the rough is a separate art. It's not just about bowling. I think somebody who instantly comes to our mind is Shane Warne. I think Kuldeep has got enough skills to be successful in England,” he added.The 30-year-old has appeared in 13 Tests for India, taking 56 wickets at an impressive average of 22.16, with four five-wicket hauls to his name.
