Kuldeep Yadav yet again starred with his bowling as he ended up picking his maiden five-wicket haul in the ODI”s. The Chinaman added six wickets to his account giving away just 25 runs in his full quota of 10 overs.
Right from the start
England batsmen who were on a song till the 10th over, had no clue to tackle the youngster and fell into his trap. Trent Bridge being the lucky charm for the openers, certainly turned out to be a nightmare as they were caught in the web spun by Kuldeep. In the process, he even became the first left-arm wrist spinner to bag a six-fer in the one-day Internationals.
He also removed settled Stokes who scored his half-century with an ample strike rate below 60. Chahal and Raina made sure to provide good support from the other end and the entire world is now expecting a lot from this youngster.
Second five-wicket haul in the tour
Kuldeep bagged his second five-wicket haul in the tour as he even grabbed the MOM for his spell in the first T20I.
As predicted by experts and critics, Kuldeep is turning out to be a monster for the No:1 ODI side in the world. India needs to chase 269 runs to make an impact in the ODI series.
Twitter went wild and this is how it responded for his magical spell
What a high quality spin bowling spell from @imkuldeep18 . His top 5 best ODI performances have all come overseas. Katappa ne Baahubali ko kyun maara pata chal gaya, but how to play Kuldeep, England ko abhi nahi. Great effort #ENGvIND pic.twitter.com/PJDDTWoeeI

First 5 overs, Eng 26/0, scored 45/0 in the next 5 and 12/3 in the next 5.
Picking up wickets= Drying runs.
This formula never fails. Top spell on from Kuldeep Yadav#EngvInd— VVS Laxman (@VVSLaxman281) July 12, 2018
Kuldeep Yadav is bowling in a script England's batsmen haven't learnt.

Kuldeep Yadav bowled 10 overs without conceding a boundary at a venue where the last two totals by England were 481 and 444. What a bowler. #EngvInd

Kuldeep Yadav's 6/25 is now the best figures by a left arm wrist spinner in ODI cricket. Previous best Brad Hogg 5/32 vs West Indies at MCG in January 2005#ENGvIND

Kuldeep Yadav becomes the first ever left-arm wrist-spinner to take SIX wickets in an ODI.
Also the best figures by any left-arm spinner in ODI history. #EngvInd

Among all the spinners who have taken over 25 ODI wickets outside Asia, Kuldeep Yadav's strike-rate and average are the best. Yuzvendra Chahal is at 2nd place! What a fabulous spin duo. Chalking up wickets at an astonishing clip in limited-overs @imkuldeep18 #ENGvIND @yuzi_chahal

#KuldeepYadav takes career-best 6-25. If he keeps rolling his wrist as fluently as he did today, #India have a greater chance of finishing the tour on a record high. #England fails to reach 300 despite a good start. India need 269 to win. #ENGvIND #eng pic.twitter.com/utplW1MXDK
