After day before yesterday’s performance on the pitch, Kuldeep Yadavdefinitely seems like the next inheritor of India’s spin legacy and he is the right fit. Having come into the loop after the 10thover when England were off a flying start at 73/ 0, Yadav picked up three wickets in the next two overs of his.
And none of it was a matter of chance – Yadav was clinical and played with the minds of fellow Englishmen, even picking up Root, England’s go-to spin specialist batsman. How did he manage it? Well, to the viewers, Yadav was as foxy as any left arm spinner could get – from straight deliveries to wrist movements, and his googlies, everything just seemed unreadable to the English batsman – and Virat Kohli, the Indian Captain, read Yadav’s intentions just right.
Later on in the game, Yadav came back to pick up another triplex, giving him the best overseas figures by any Indian spinner at 6/ 25. Yadav’s magic allowed India to chase the 268 runs total in less than 41 overs as India registered a promising win against their colonial rivals who were playing on home turf. A refreshing win indeed, as fans await more!
