In November 2019, the Indian cricket team scripted a new chapter in its illustrious Test history when they clashed swords with Bangladesh in a Day/Night Test at the Eden Gardens. In fact, that particular encounter was treated as a watershed moment for the Indian cricket team by many and was looked upon with anticipation by fans and players alike.
Kuldeep Yadav, in an exclusive Live Instagram session with Sportskeeda, elaborated on Day-Night Tests and stated how the Indian cricket team was looking forward to the challenge of a potentially similar encounter Down Under against Australia in the 2020-21 season.

Indian cricket team won their last Test series in Australia
Kuldeep, in particular, has fond memories of his last trip to Australia, wherein he bagged a five-wicket haul at the Sydney Cricket Ground. The game in question, ended in a stalemate but that didn’t prevent the Indian cricket team spinner from making a splash on the red-ball international stage and helping the Indian cricket team register a 2-1 triumph in the Test series.
Prior to that though, Kuldeep Yadav had not featured across the series, with the Indian cricket team preferring the likes of Ravichandran Aswhin and Ravindra Jadeja. However, the left-arm spinner took his omission in his stride and instead, waited for the ideal opportunity to dent the Australian side.
Speaking on how tough it is for cricketers to be left out of the playing eleven, the Indian cricket team spinner quipped that it remains a hard pill to swallow, although that should never act as an impediment to the collective goals of the side.
At this juncture, Kuldeep Yadav doesn’t represent one of the Indian cricket team’s frontline options in Test cricket. Yet, if he stays true to his mantra, one can expect the Indian cricket team spinner to keep himself ready and spin undecipherable webs, whenever the opportunity comes knocking.
