New Delhi. In the ODI series against New Zealand, 26-year-old Kuldeep Sen has received the medal call up of the Indian cricket team. Team India has to tour New Zealand just a few days after the ICC T20 World Cup 2022. The All India Selection Committee has decided to rest several stars including Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul for the tour of New Zealand. Senior fast bowlers Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Mohammed Shami have also been rested from the ODI series, which could lead to a young player like Kuldeep Sen being included in the ODI squad for the first time.
The Madhya Pradesh fast bowler is known for his quick pace, as he has the ability to catch the speed of 140 kmph on a regular basis. He grabbed limelight during the 2022 season for Rajasthan Royals. He played 7 matches for the franchise, in which he took 8 wickets, including a four-wicket haul.

He made his debut for Rajasthan Royals in the IPL 2022 match against Lucknow Super Giants at the Wankhede Stadium. The 26-year-old made an immediate impact on his debut game as he successfully defended 15 runs in the last over and helped his team register a close-match win.
In the IPL 2022 auction, Rajasthan Royals bought the right-arm fast bowler for Rs 20 lakh. The Royals fast bowler came from a simple background, as his father Rampal Sen runs a small salon at Sirmour Square in Rewa, Madhya Pradesh. He greatly influenced the Rajasthan Royals management during the IPL. He bowled some tough overs for them under pressure conditions.
Kuldeep Sen has an illustrious record in first-class cricket, as he has taken 52 wickets in 17 matches at an average of 28.40. While he has not played much in List A and has claimed 7 wickets in the same number of matches. He has traveled many series as a net bowler with the Indian team in the last one year and now he has a golden opportunity to make his name on the big stage.
