WATCH: Kuldeep Yadav's Double Wicket Over Which Rattled Punjab Kings
DC vs PBKS IPL 2022: 'You may be gone but you're never over.' Kuldeep Yadav has been in tremendous form in this season for Delhi Capitals, after being benched by Kolkata Knight Riders for the entire IPL 2021. In the 32nd match of IPL 2022, Kuldeep Yadav yet again proved his wicket-taking abilities as he rattled Punjab Kings in a single over.
Punjab Kings were already struggling at 87/5 after 13 overs, with Shahrukh Khan (8*) and Kagiso Rabada (1*) on the crease. Kuldeep came on to bowl the 14th over and after conceding three singles on the first three balls, the wrist-spinner tossed up a delivery, a googly that completely dodged Rabada.
The South African bowler left a huge gap between his bat and pad while trying to drive the ball. The ball went in the gap and dislodged the stumps to dismiss Rabada, who scored just 2 runs off 6 balls.
Nathan Ellis, playing his first match of the season, came out to bat next. The fifth delivery of the over was a dot ball, and Kuldeep tossed up the last delivery from wide of the crease. The ball drifted in wonderfully and goes into the huge gap between Ellis' bat & pads. A bit similar to Rabada's dismissal, the ball went on to dislodge the stumps as Kuldeep picked up his second wicket of the over. Kuldeep finished with the figures of 4-0-24-2.
