Kuldeep Yadav called it a “massive honour” to be part of India’s landmark 600th Test on Independence Day. He said the team had enough time to prepare for Sri Lanka, including six days of practice in Colombo. Kuldeep highlighted the need to adapt to Kookaburra balls, extra bounce and Galle’s spin-friendly conditions and strong winds.
Galle: Calling it a ‘massive honour’ to be part of India’s milestone 600th Test match, star left-arm wrist-spinner Kuldeep Yadav on Saturday said the team has had ample time to adapt to local conditions and get used to the Kookaburra ball ahead of the upcoming series against Sri Lanka.
"Firstly, it's a massive honour to be part of India's 600th Test match on Independence Day. To be part of the 600, it's a big feeling and very happy about that. Look, it was very important, firstly, to get that 10 days of window.
“Then obviously, practice at Colombo for like six days, and those six days were very good in terms of preparing in all the conditions. But I mean, we got enough time to prepare for the Test series," Kuldeep said in a pre-match chat with the broadcasters.
Conditions in Sri Lanka often present unique challenges, particularly regarding the behaviour of the pitch due to its spin-friendly nature. Addressing the adaptation process, Kuldeep noted the squad had already engaged in detailed discussions to tackle the shift from the SG balls used in India to the Kookaburra balls utilized here.
