Kuldeep Yadav required four wickets on Day 2 of the primary Test against Bangladesh and his work was commended by Dinesh Karthik
The KL Rahul-drove Indian cricket crew is steering the ship against Bangladesh in the main Test in Chattogram. On Day 2 of the match, left-arm spinner Kuldeep Yadav sparkled with both bat and ball as India dove Bangladesh into serious difficulty.
Bangladesh fell to 133-8 at stumps, with Kuldeep getting 4-33 after his 40 made an indispensable commitment to India’s most memorable innings all out of 404 runs.
Mohammad Siraj tore the hearts out of Bangladesh’s top request with 3-14 preceding Kuldeep – – playing the series as a late swap for Ravindra Jadeja – – entranced the home side with his left-arm turn.
His work was praised by Dinesh Karthik. “The vital second for me was the second ball he bowled to Shakib Al Hasan, someone who is an excellent player of twist.
He knows how to handle a spinner. Ventured out however the ball just plunged a tad in front and got a sufficient turn for him to play some unacceptable shot. That was great bowling.
That ball would have provided Kuldeep with a great deal of certainty and that was the beginning of his spell,” expressed Karthik on Cricbuzz.
“From that point on you could see Kuldeep in full stream. He inconveniences great hitters. You can see from the hitters who came from that point onward, that truly battled to play him.
That was truly cheering. It will keep India in great stead in any event, when they travel abroad however more so for the impending series against Australia. He will end up being a decent weapon to have.”
Kuldeep struck off his subsequent ball, driving Bangladesh commander Shakib Al Hasan to give Virat Kohli a catch at slip for three, diminishing Bangladesh to 75-5.
The 28-year-old spinner then eliminated Nurul Hasan (16), Mushfiqur Rahim (28), and Taijul Islam (0) to put India immovably in charge.
