DC wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav marked his IPL comeback in style against the Lucknow Super Giants as he bowled a sensational spell with the ball picking up three wickets and giving away just 20 runs in his four overs.
Kuldeep dismissed Marcus Stoinis along with Nicholas Pooran and Kl Rahul in quick succession to set up a special win for the Delhi capitals.
Kuldeep had not played in the last three matches due to injury. In Kuldeep’s absence, the Delhi Capitals looked clueless. Even former England’s skipper, Eoin Morgan, praised Kuldeep’s bowling, saying that he was the difference between the two.
In his interaction with Jio Cenima and Robbin Uthappa, he said that kuldeep was the main difference between the two sides.
Eoin Morgan said, “Kuldeep Yadav was the difference between DC and LSG. The wickets that he took were KL Rahul and Nicholas Pooran, two big players for LSG, and that’s exactly what you want. The impact that he has made since coming back from injury is absolutely priceless. In many ways, DC can put their win down to him tonight. So brilliant performance again, reiterating the role of a wrist spinner in the middle phases of the game.”
Even in Delhi’s second innings, Rishabh Pant, along with Jake Fraser-McGurk, played some classical shots, helping his side get their second victory of the season.
Robbin Uthappa praised Rishabh Pant for his quick turnaround and scoring runs at the same pace.
Robbin Uthappa said, “I have been delighted by what I have seen from Rishabh Pant. He has been so good with the bat, while keeping, and just his fitness has been great as well.”
