Watch how the spinner of Delhi capitals planned the downfall of Pooran
After sitting out due to injury and making a remarkable comeback in IPL 2024 , left-arm wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav showcased his prowess by clinching 3 wickets for 20 runs, steering Delhi Capitals to a convincing six-wicket victory over Lucknow Super Giants in Lucknow. His stellar performance in LSG vs DC earned him the well-deserved Player of the Match title.
Kuldeep’s spell proved instrumental in limiting LSG to a modest total of 167/7 in 20 overs. LSG’s skipper KL Rahul, Marcus Stoinis, and Nicholas Pooran, all fell prey to Kuldeep’s cunning deliveries.

While speaking Kuldeep Yadav said, “It was an important win because we have lost two games before this. We batted really well at Wankhede but we could not win since we lacked the finishing. Middle overs are very important, if you take wickets in those 8-9 overs it helps the team. All the wickets were important for the team and for my confidence as well.”
He further added, “It was a good ball, proper googly, it pitched on a good length, and spun. It was my plan to bowl that delivery and set the field accordingly and luckily the ball pitched perfectly and I got the wicket. When you take a wicket off a good ball, you celebrate also so as it was a good ball, the celebration was called for.”
