Kuldeep Yadav picked his second four-fer against former franchise Kolkata Knight Riders. Delhi Capitals clinched a four-wicket win at the Wankhede Stadium. The left-arm spinner had endured a rough past three years in the tournament, but currently stands at the second position in the list of highest wicket-takers in the season.
Fellow leg-spinner Kuldeep Yadav wants his fellow spinner to win the Purple Cap. ‘He (Chahal) has been like a big brother and stood by me during my bad times,’ says Kuldep after Rajasthan Royals’ win over Gujarat Lions.
Kuldeep Yadav believes he has become a better bowler after being dropped from India’s limited-overs side. The wily left-arm Chinaman believes that facing the axe has made him mentally stronger. Kuldeep: “When you fail in life you pick what you can improve on and that is something I had to improve on”.
Kuldeep bowled skipper Shreyas Iyer, Indrajith, Sunil Narine, and the dangerous Andre Russell in the game against KKR; he enjoyed dismissing the West Indian the most.
“Russell’s wicket appealed to me as I set him up; it was my plan, and I knew he’d step out when there were a couple of dots. This is my favourite IPL season. I’m having a good time bowling. I’m not sure what the batter will do, and what will happen if I’m hit. My main focus has been on bowling with the proper line and lengths “Kuldeep Yadav elaborated.
