The duo will feature in India's third ODI against New Zealand in the series decider at the Holkar Cricket Stadium on January 18 after the visitors denied the Men in Blue the opportunity to gain an unassailable lead in the second match of the three-match series at Rajkot.

After offering prayers at Shree Mahakaleshwar Temple in Ujjain, while speaking to ANI, Kuldeep Yadav said, "It was a very good experience. It's been 9 years since I first had darshan here. It brings a lot of joy and bliss. By the grace of God, everything is good, and if his grace remains, we will perform well in the World Cup."
