Legendary left-arm spinner Bishan Singh Bedi is impressed with wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav's recent performances but would like to check out his control and variation over long spells in Test match cricket.


"Look, it's not easy to figure out whether Kuldeep has control watching him bowl four overs in T20 or 10 overs in ODIs. Let him bowl 30-40 overs in an innings, we can then figure.


In India, we jump to conclusion very easily just after one hat-trick. So let's not rush. Give him time to settle down and for us to assess him logically," Bedi replied to a query from PTI during a promotional event at the Australian High Commission here.

The former India captain, who has more than 260 Test wickets said consistency comes with planning and strategy and not just by taking wickets. He hoped that Kuldeep, who has played just two Tests so far, survives the rigours of international cricket for long. "It's a rare and tough art. Right-arm leg spin is tough and left-arm leg break (chinaman) is even tougher. He is still very new to international cricket. I hope he learns the tricks of the trade," he said.
