With his performance, he has exacted a perfect revenge against his former team, for whom he played only 14 games in the last three editions. Kuldeep Yadav, who has played 45 matches for KKR, was sidelined from the team after the emergence of Varun Chakravarthy. With Sunil Narine already in the playing XI, KKR were pushed to a position where they can choose either Kuldeep or Chakravarthy. The latter was given a go and Kuldeep, who was with the Indian team, was left warming the bench. He was released by the franchise ahead of this season.
