England seemed to have no idea about Kuldeep Yadav, says Mohinder Amarnath

“England seemed to have no idea about him. They have not played a Chinaman bowler often and didn't read him at all. Besides, their mindset was to just go out and attack the way they did against Australia recently. They need to remember that India are a different team altogether. England are good against pace but they have been exposed by the fact that they are not reading Kuldeep. Buttler was really the only one reading the ball, the others were guessing. The best way for them to play someone like Kuldeep is to try not to slog him because he's comparatively slower in the air than Chahal," Amarnath, who played 69 Tests for India, wrote in his column for TOI. 

England had been in a good position at 94-1 but could only post 159/8 with Yadav's googlies at one point giving him three wickets in four balls on his way to his best figures in T20 Internationals. Amarnath seemed impressed with the performance and stated that he liked the way Kuldeep always keeps his wicket-taking attitude. 

Yadav's performance was also a reminder that despite their vast improvement in limited-overs cricket, England remained vulnerable against spin. During England's tour of India, Chahal had taken 6-25 in the third T20I at Bengaluru in February 2017 and in the last game, the Indian chinaman wrecked havoc. While Chahal remained unsuccessful, he is too good a bowler to be ignored.
