India’s second Test against Sri Lanka goes ahead without Kuldeep Yadav, according to a statement linked to Shubman Gill from NDTV. The coverage focuses on the reason Kuldeep is not included in the playing XI for the match.
NDTV frames the explanation through Gill’s remarks, but the provided article text is incomplete (“Kuldeep” repeated), so the specific cause—such as injury status, team selection strategy, or availability—is not detailed in the supplied material. Other angles across outlets cannot be assessed because only one source is provided here and no further reporting details are included.
In the absence of additional corroborating excerpts, the common, verifiable point is that Kuldeep Yadav is not selected for the second Test, and that Shubman Gill is presented as the source for why. The match context, squad changes, and the exact rationale remain unspecified based on the information provided.
