Kuldeep Yadav: India's left-arm wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav has put out a message on social media, asserting that the team has fought hard to bag the ODI series against South Africa 2-1 after winning the third and final match by nine wickets with a dominant display at the ACA-VDCa Stadium in Visakhapatnam on Saturday.Kuldeep claimed 4-41 and, along with Prasidh Krishna (4-65), helped bundle out South Africa for 270 despite a super century by Quinton de Kock, who hammered a 89-ball 106 and a 67-ball 48 by skipper Temba Bavuma. "Fought hard for this one," said Kuldeep Yadav in a story on his Instagram handle.
Earlier, Kuldeep said he enjoyed bowling with a dry ball after KL Rahul won the toss and chose to bowl first, thus avoiding the dew that had affected their bowling in the first two matches of the three-match series. "We started well, Arshdeep and Harshit, they kept tight lines in seven-eight overs. When spinners came, it was a bit gripping. Tried to mix the pace. Bowling with a dry ball is a luxury after the first two games. We lost 20 successive tosses; finally, we won it (toss). Very happy," said Yadav after helping India bowl out South Africa. Yadav had a near-animated discussion with skipper K.L.

Yadav admitted that he is not that good with the DRS, and Rohit keeps pulling his leg for that. Yadav had a near-animated discussion with skipper K.L.

Because of the 34-over ball-change rule, if the ball is dry, it was holding on the pitch.
It wasn't easy to score if there is turn. I tried variations too - legspin, googly, flipper," said Kuldeep Yadav. Article Source: IANS
