Kuldeep Yadav finally had a good outing with the ball in the ongoing three-match ODI series against Australia after two poor displays.

The left-arm spinner started the series on a poor note. Although India won the first ODI in Mumbai by 5 wickets, Kuldeep Yadav did not enjoy the best of outings.

He bowled 8 overs for 48 runs and picked up 1 wicket. In the second ODI, he bowled just one over and conceded a six and a four as Australia chased down a modest 117 with utmost ease to draw level in the series.

Kuldeep Yadav, however, came up with a good performance when it mattered the most as he was India’s most successful bowler in the ongoing series-decider at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. The chinaman spinner picked up 3 wickets to help India bowl out Australia for 269 in 49 overs.

He dismissed David Warner and Marnus Labuschagne in quick succession to leave Australia reeling at 138 for 5 from 125 for 3. Later, he returned to the attack to dismiss Alex Carey.

Kuldeep Yadav castles Alex Carey:

Rohit Sharma reintroduced Kuldeep Yadav in the attack to bowl the 39th over and the spinner responded in style. He was up against Carey who had his eyes set. The Australia wicketkeeper-batsman was batting on 38 runs before Kuldeep Yadav dismissed him with an absolute peach on the very first ball of the over.

Carey was absolutely clueless as he was bamboozled by the away going delivery from the India spinner. The ball landed around Carey’s leg stump and the batsman decided to defend it. However, the ball soon turned away sharply, beating Carey’s outside edge before going on to hit the stumps. Kuldeep went on to dismiss Ashton Agar in the same over too without conceding any run.

Here is a clip of the wicket:

Bamboozled 💥
