Kuldeep Yadav tells Jadeja pressure should be given not taken
Kuldeep Yadav responded to Jadeja's banter about taking pressure during New Zealand tour preparations.
Kuldeep Yadav responded to Ravindra Jadeja's banter about taking pressure during preparations for India's T20I series against New Zealand. Jadeja spotted a training photo of Kuldeep and wrote that he should take some pressure.
Kuldeep fired back that pressure should be given, not taken. The exchange landed on Wednesday while India prepared for the five-match series that started Thursday.
Jadeja will link up later for the Test series on November 19. Kuldeep stays in the T20I and ODI squads but is not assured a starting XI spot in New Zealand conditions.

The exchange shows the spinners' comfort level ahead of a tour where their roles remain uncertain. Both players face selection battles in conditions that traditionally favour pace.
