IND vs BAN: Would have loved to play Kuldeep Yadav as Impact Player, says KL Rahul

Stand-in skipper KL Rahul admitted that India missed the services of left-arm wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav in the second innings but said he has 'no regret' about leaving him out of the final Test against Bangladesh.

Fresh from his match-winning show in India's 188-run win in the Chattogram Test, Kuldeep was benched for an extra seamer in Jaydev Unadkat, a decision which was slammed by the likes of Sunil Gavaskar.

"I don't regret the decision. It was the right decision. If you look at the wickets, our fast bowlers too have taken many wickets and they had a lot of assistance. There was a lot of inconsistent bounce," Rahul said defending his decision at the post-match media interaction.

"Ideally, if the Impact Player rule was there -- like in the IPL -- I would have definitely loved to bring Kuldeep in the second innings," Rahul said.
