Watch: Kuldeep Yadav abuses Dhruv Jurel as he gets robbed off a 5-fer in Delhi Test

India left-arm wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav was not impressed with wicketkeeper Dhruv Jurel’s glove work on Day 3 (Sunday, October 22) of the second Test against the West Indies. Kuldeep used abusive words against Jurel after he failed to judge a catch behind the stumps at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi.

Kuldeep made an early impact on Day 3, dismissing Shai Hope for 36 and Tevin Imlach for 21 within the first hour of play. The wrist spinner continued his dominance by trapping Justin Greaves in front of the stumps. It was his fourth wicket of the ongoing match, having taken Alick Athanaze’s wicket for 41 on Day 2.

Kuldeep bowled a googly on the leg side that drew a faint glove from Anderson Phillip as the batter attempted a sweep. The ball popped up in the air, but Jurel, seemingly unaware of the deflection, couldn’t react quickly enough to grab it, allowing the chance to fall just short in front of him.

The left-arm spinner used some words towards Jurel after the dropped catch, and the video grabbed attention from the cricketing community.

Kuldeep Yadav Takes Three Wicket in First Session on Day 3

Kuldeep Yadav made an immediate impact at the start of the day after being handed the ball by skipper Shubman Gill. The left-arm spinner dismissed Shai Hope with a delivery that straightened and crashed into the stumps before striking again in his next over.

Tevin Imlach became Kuldeep’s next victim when a sharply turning ball caught him on the back leg as he tried to nudge it towards the leg side. Replays confirmed that there was no bat involved, leaving the on-field LBW decision intact.

Justin Greaves attempted a reverse sweep that backfired as the ball turned in and stuck him plumb in front. The batsman walked off without bothering to review, giving Kuldeep Yadav his fourth scalp of the match.

At the time of writing, the visitors were 217/8 after 72 overs, with Khary Pierre (19) and Anderson Phillip (19) at the crease.

India Posted 518 Runs Before Declaration in First Innings

After opting to bat first, the hosts scored 518 runs for the loss of 5 wickets before declaring. Yashasvi Jaiswal was the top scorer for the team with 175 off 258 balls. Captain Shubman Gill remained unbeaten on 129 from 196 deliveries, while Sai Sudharsan added 87 runs.

In reply, the West Indies struggled to find momentum after losing opener John Campbell early. Tagenarine Chanderpaul and Alick Athanaze added a 66-run partnership before both fell in quick succession. Captain Roston Chase’s dismissal for a duck deepened their woes as the visitors ended Day 2 on 140/4.

India had already clinched the first Test by an innings and 140 runs and lead the series 1-0. They are in third place in the World Test Championship (WTC) 2025-27 standings.
