Kuldeep Yadav’s impressive performance in the Asia Cup has carried over to the Test series. The left-arm spinner made a significant impact on the first day of the Ahmedabad Test, dismissing Shai Hope, the West Indies’ best batsman. Yadav’s delivery was of such high quality that it left Hope completely out of answers. The delivery was so good that it reminded many of Shane Warne’s classic balls. The magical ball by Kuldeep Yadav occurred in the 24th over. The ball was pitched wide of off-stump, enticing Hope to go for a drive. But the ball spun sharply and took the inside edge of the bat, hitting the stumps. Hope was clueless as to how his off-stump had been knocked over. The video of Kuldeep Yadav’s extraordinary delivery has gone viral online. Kuldeep Yadav returned to the Test match playing eleven after a 347-day absence. Despite being selected for the England tour, he didn’t get a chance in any of the five Test matches. Yadav, however, remained determined and made his mark in the Asia Cup, taking 17 wickets and becoming the tournament’s best bowler. He is now displaying his capabilities in the Test series against the West Indies.
