"We know he (Kuldeep) has a lot of potential, can be a match-winner. He has something about him. Since his knee injury, he has come back, and he is putting a lot on the ball now. Most pleasing was his batting," Rohit said aftter the match..

In the series, Kuldeep scored 97 valuable runs down the order and took 19 wickets at an average of 20.15.
