Kuldeep getting back form is good for India: Chahal

Immensely relieved to see Kuldeep Yadav regaining some form before World Cup, leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal says it is certainly good news for India, who are set to open their campaign against South Africa on June 5.

Chinaman bowler Kuldeep was not his best yet returned a three-wicket haul against Bangladesh, foxing the 'Tigers' numerous occasions.

It was after a depressing IPL, where he struggled to get wickets and was also dropped by his side.

"I am so happy the way Kuldeep made a comeback and showed the confidence and it is a good for the team ahead of the World Cup," said Chahal after India's 95-run victory.

"We trust each other. We know each other for last 7-8 years and we have a good bonding on and off the field. If I bowl first then I talk to him about how the wicket is behaving and he talks to me if he is bowling first.

"Before a match we always plan, like if can can bowl more googlies or sliders to a particular batsmen."
Talking about his performance against Bangladesh, the 28-year-old, who also took three wickets, said, "I tried to vary my pace especially in a small ground like this. In such grounds, you need to understand what the batsmen is going to do, you might go for a six or a four but how you come back that is important for me."
"I got to bowl 10 overs. The wicket was not easy for the bowlers and batsmen were attacking. So me, Kuldeep (Yadav) and Jaddu pa (Ravindra Jadeja) tried to vary the pace."
