Chinaman bowler Kuldeep Yadav, who starred in India’s five-wicket win over the West Indies in the first T20I here, said his long stint with Kolkata Knight Riders in the IPL helped him do well on Sunday.<\/p>\n
Kuldeep, who returned match-winning figures of 3\/13, restricting the Windies to a paltry 109\/8 in 20 overs, has been a regular feature for KKR for the last five years.<\/p>\n
The 23-year old snared the wickets of Darren Bravo, Rovman Powell and skipper Carlos Brathwaite in a devastating spell over four straight overs in tandem with debutant Krunal Pandya.<\/p>\n
“It plays a part. It’s been five years with KKR. I have played all the IPL games there. It gives you a massive advantage. It gives confidence as well. I know ground and wicket as well,” Kuldeep told reporters at the post-match press conference.<\/p>\n
“I know the ground well, the pitch here does not offer much turn. I know the speed of the outfield and every angle. So it helps a lot and gives me immense confidence,” he added.<\/p>\n
Kuldeep also completed 100 wickets in T20 cricket. Asked about his faster delivery, Kuldeep said it helps break the rhythm of the batsman and keep him in check.<\/p>\n
“This delivery is faster one. I am working on it. In T20 format, to break the rhythm of the batsman. These kinds of deliveries to control run and check what he will do.”<\/p>\n
West Indies left-arm spinner Fabian Allen, meanwhile, rued the absence of star all-rounder Andre Russell who was ruled out on the eve of the first T20 due to injury.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
