It’s not like the setting was bad. Baz was a great coach. Sometimes, you do not get a place in the group. Sunil (Narine) has been the no.1 spinner for them over the years, and Varun (Chakravarthy) has also done well. For me, the location of the third spin was not in the XI. So, I didn’t get a chance, ”Kuldeep told Sports Yaari. “As a player you would always want to play. If you do not have the opportunity, you start to doubt yourself. He begins to think, ‘What should I do? How do I get a chance? How am I going to do it? ‘ I did not have a problem but I did not just join their team, ”said Kuldeep.In the 2022 program, Kuldeep played every game for the Capitals and finished the season as the wicket-taker.
