Talking to Kuldeep, former India batsman and T20 World Cup winner Robin Uthappa asked the bowler what technical change he has made to his bowling.

"One thing I have noticed in your bowling, especially over the last 2-3 years, you don't give height like before when you flight the ball," Uthappa said.
"I have changed my rhythm," Kuldeep revealed in his reply. "Now that I have an aggressive rhythm, my ball is not dropping in a loop. Woh mai jab chahunga tab jayega, phenkne ki koshish karunga toh jayega, nahi to nahi jayega (it will go when I want; when I try to deliver like that, it will go, otherwise not).
