The key to successful bowling is rhythm and variation.
However, the left-arm wrist spinner stated that Virat Kohli’s batting performance deserved higher accolades. Kohli scored 139 not out off 88 balls in India’s successful chase, leading his team to victory with an outstanding performance.
Kuldeep Yadav’s brilliant bowling earned him Player of the Match honours.
Kuldeep’s four victims in the match were John Campbell (62 from 60 balls), Shai Hope (12 from 11), Justin Greaves (101 from 108), and Jewel Andrew (duck). After travelling with the Indian team to England for three ODIs without playing, the spinner’s performance marked a significant return to ODI cricket after a spell of limited selection.
