Kuldeep Yadav can challenge Yasir Shah as World's best leg-spinner, says Shane Warne
Kuldeep Yadav thanked the Austrlian for his warm comments.
Australia's spin legend Shane Warne believes that Indian chinaman Kuldeep Yadav could challenge Pakistan's Yasir Shah as the best leg-spinner in world cricket. Kuldeep was quick to thank Warne for his warm comments and said that he "will keep it in mind."
The young left-arm wrist spinner came into prominence in his debut Test match against Australia in Dharamshala, earlier this year, followed by a match-winning hat-trick in the 2nd ODI of the just-concluded ODI series.
Warne took to Twitter to laud Kuldeep.
"If young Kuldeep remains patient when he's bowling in all forms then he could challenge Yasir as the best leg- spinner in the world and quickly," Warne tweeted.
The Australian spin wizard, who had a brief session with Kuldeep during a Test match in Pune (then coach Anil Kumble had arranged an interaction) is impressed with his ability to create confusion in the minds of Aussie batsmen.
"Was a pleasure to meet young Kuldeep when I was last in India. I really enjoy him bowl and cause confusion even against Oz," was another of Warne's tweets.
