In a surprising turn of events during the India vs. Oman match, Kuldeep Yadav was the center of attention for an unconventional move. Having been a standout performer in the Asia Cup, he was seen practically forcing captain Suryakumar Yadav to take a DRS. Kuldeep, attempting to get the review, grabbed Suryakumar’s hand to make the signal. This action was a rarity on the cricket field. The controversial DRS call was made in the 9th over, where Kuldeep appealed for an LBW against Aamir Kaleem. The umpire’s decision was not out, but Kuldeep was persistent and made sure the review was taken. Ultimately, the review went against India. However, Kuldeep did take a wicket later, dismissing Oman’s captain Jatinder Singh. His third over was costly, with Hamad Mirza hitting two sixes in a 15-run over. India had set a target of 188 runs in their innings, highlighted by half-century from Sanju Samson and Abhishek Sharma’s 38 runs.
