Kuldeep Yadav Delivers Clinical Spell to Restrict New Zealand in Raipur T20I

Delhi Capitals spinner Kuldeep Yadav played a pivotal role in restricting New Zealand to 208/6 in the second T20I, delivering a clinical spell that provided crucial breakthroughs for India. Despite the high-scoring nature of the match, Kuldeep finished with impressive figures of 2 for 35 from his four overs, maintaining a strong economy rate under pressure.

Kuldeep's tactical brilliance was evident in his dismissals of key Kiwi batters. He first accounted for the well-set Rachin Ravindra (44) with a wide, floated delivery, inducing an edge. He then outfoxed Glenn Phillips (19) with a beautifully disguised googly, resulting in a simple catch. His performance ensured New Zealand could not accelerate further in the middle overs, setting the stage for India's record-breaking chase.
