Yuzvendra Chahal Backs Kuldeep Yadav as 'No. 1 Spinner in the World' Despite Rajkot Setback

Delhi Capitals spinner Kuldeep Yadav received strong support from fellow IPL star Yuzvendra Chahal following a tough outing in the second ODI against New Zealand in Rajkot. Despite conceding 82 runs in his 10 overs, Kuldeep's former India teammate took to social media to publicly back the left-arm wrist spinner, labeling him the best in the world.

Chahal, who plays for Punjab Kings, declared Kuldeep as the 'No. 1 SPINNER in whole WORLD' across all formats. This show of solidarity comes as Kuldeep faced criticism for a noticeable drop in pace and effectiveness during the middle overs, which contributed to India's seven-wicket defeat. The endorsement from a respected peer like Chahal underscores the high regard Kuldeep holds in the cricketing fraternity, despite the occasional off-day.
