Wonder how it feels to have Arshdeep at number 8 today! Adding Bumrah&#8217;s absence to that, one can only feel bad for Kuldeep. Trust me, this can affect the rhythm and confidence of a bowler,&#8221; Ashwin wrote on X.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"18\"\/><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"20\"\/>Kuldeep has now missed all three ODIs of India&#8217;s tour of England after also being rested for the preceding T20I series. His opportunities have been limited in recent months, having featured in just one match during the home ODI series against Afghanistan, where he returned figures of 0\/42 in Lucknow.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"23\"\/>India&#8217;s preference for Axar Patel and Washington Sundar has largely been driven by the added batting depth they provide, often pushing Kuldeep down the pecking order despite his proven wicket-taking ability in the 50-over format. <span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"25\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h3 style=\"margin: 0px 0px 0.5em; line-height: 1.3;
