'I want to see Kuldeep Yadav get a chance in the ODI series' – Ajinkya Rahane backs wrist spinner after T20I snub

Ajinkya Rahane has backed left-arm wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav for inclusion in India's playing XI during the upcoming ODI series against New Zealand. Kuldeep was selected in India's squad for the five-match T20I series but did not feature in any of the matches as India won the series 3–2. The ODI series begins on November 4, 2026, and Rahane believes this format offers the wrist spinner an opportunity to demonstrate his capabilities at international level. Rahane expressed his views on India's selection strategy during discussions about the team's approach for the ODI matches.
