IPL 2026: Kuldeep Is A Match-winner, Important To Have Him Playing Continually, Says Miller

Indian Premier League: Veteran Delhi Capitals batter David Miller on Thursday backed under-fire wrist-spinner Kuldeep Yadav to come good in the remainder of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026, describing him as a ‘match-winner’ whose presence in the playing eleven remains vital for the team despite a recent dip in form.

Kuldeep’s form has emerged as a major concern for DC this season, with the left‑arm wrist spinner conceding at 10.4 runs per over, picking only seven wickets, and going wicketless in five of his nine outings.

Kuldeep’s economy rate has dipped sharply against right‑hand batters. While he picked nine right-handed batters' wickets at 6.7 runs per over in IPL 2025, this season he has taken six wickets at 11.1 runs per over from 21.1 overs. His overall economy of 10.4 is the highest in any IPL season, surpassing his previous worst economy rate of 8.7 in 2019 and 2024.
