Kuldeep Yadav’s game-changing spell: Engineering England’s collapse
Kuldeep’ exceptional spell in the second innings of the fourth Test on Day 3 played a pivotal role in altering the course of the game. Disrupting the stumps of key English batters including the likes of Zak Crawley and opposition skipper Ben Stokes, he showcased his ability to skid the ball effectively. His four crucial wickets not only rattled the opposition but also put England on the backfoot by reducing the side to mere 145 alongside Ravichandran Ashwin who took a fifer, setting the stage for India’s dominance.

Virender Sehwag lauds Kuldeep Yadav: Recognizing the silent performer
Former Indian explosive batter Virender Sehwag took to social media to laud Kuldeep for his outstanding performance. What sets Kuldeep apart, according to Sehwag, is his lack of an extensive online presence or fan club, making him one of the least hyped yet highly effective players in the cricketing arena.
“When it comes to hype, one of the least hyped guys is Kuldeep Yadav. Been exceptional for many years, but never got a online fan club or people to hype him as the next big thing. Deserves a lot more credit and hype than he gets,” tweeted Sehwag.
Kuldeep’s all-round contribution: Grit with the bat
Beyond his mastery with the ball, Kuldeep displayed resilience with the bat on Day 3. His innings of 28 runs off 131 balls showcased not only his batting skills but also his determination to contribute in every aspect of the game. The partnership with Dhruv Jurel for the 8th wicket added crucial runs, underlining Kuldeep’s significance as an all-rounder in Team India’s pursuit of victory.
