The left-arm wrist-spinner of Indian cricket team Kuldeep Yadav revealed details of his talk with teammate Yuzvendra Chahal before the third and final T20I of the three-match series against South Africa. Kuldeep Yadav thanked Chahal for his consistent support while highlighting their friendship throughout the years. The left-arm wrist-spinner made a fantastic comeback to form in T20Is, recording his best figures for Team India in the format on Thursday against South Africa. He took five wickets for 17 runs in 2.5 overs to help the visitors win the final game and tie the series 1-1.
In a recent video posted by the Board of Control for Cricket in India on X, Suryakumar Yadav was seen having a conversation with Kuldeep, in which the stand-in skipper asked the spinner whether having a chat with teammate Chahal helped him pick up five wickets.

Kuldeep said in a video posted by BCCI that "Chahal Bhai had a long flight, so we didn't speak much. I just met him last evening, and he told me not to change too much about bowling. Even when things weren't great 2-3 years ago, he was always there for me. Hopefully, we will try to do well if we play together in ODIs.”
