Hello
Released by KKR ahead of the ongoing season, Kuldeep has thrived at Delhi claiming 17 wickets in eight matches equalling his 2018 haul from 16 games.
Capitals defeated Kolkata Knight Riders by 44 runs on Sunday to register their second win of the season.
A shin injury had forced Axar to miss the South Africa tour and the T20I series against the West India. He had also tested positive for COVID-19 recently.
The selectors added Kuldeep Yadav to the Indian squad.
The 'Turbanator' expects that he can get a few early wickets and make it a different ball-game.
Rohit Sharma will captain Team India while KL Rahul will serve as his deputy.
The former Indian head coach also mentioned that as a player he would have been motivated to prove his coach wrong and not 'go home crying'.
Kuldeep is expected to go through a long rehabilitation process before attempting a comeback to competitive cricket.
Kuldeep has seen his international appearances nosedive since the end of 2019, which was also the year that Dhoni played his last match for India.
Both Siraj and Kuldeep were not selected for the ongoing first Test against England.
