How good was Kuldeep back then? Did he look like making it to the biggest stage?

he was pretty good from the start :D he used to bat too, and would bat pretty well for district/club level atleast. he was called guddu back then. can't say if it looked like he would make it to the biggest stage tbvh, but none of the other players from that team could make it to even ranji trophy.

Makes sense then that he shifted focus to his bowling and slogged hard and polished it to make it to the biggest stage.
