IND vs SA: Will Kuldeep Yadav be ruled out of the series against South Africa? Here's why

Kuldeep Yadav Update: Kuldeep Yadav may be out of the series against South Africa. Currently, Kuldeep Yadav is part of Team India's squad for the Kolkata Test and bowled effectively in the first innings. However, it's possible that he may not play in the second Test of the series. 

The Indian spinner's exclusion from the second Test could be due to a letter he sent to the BCCI. Kuldeep has requested leave for his wedding. If he is granted leave, which is likely, he could be ruled out of the series. 

Citing BCCI sources, TOI reported that Kuldeep Yadav's wedding is in the last week of November. Therefore, the team management will first assess when they might need Kuldeep. He will be granted leave accordingly. 

The second Test between India and South Africa begins in Guwahati on November 22nd. Kuldeep's wedding is in the last week of the month. It remains to be seen whether he will opt out of the second Test due to his wedding or the ODI series, which begins on November 30th. 

Kuldeep Yadav's performance in the Kolkata Test included 14 overs in the first innings, taking 2 wickets for 36 runs.
