Kuldeep Yadav joined the wickets column later in the third T20I against South Africa but he made sure that he turns out big time. India asserted their authority over Proteas in the series decider at the New Wanderers Stadium, Johannesburg, and made sure that they leveled the series and kept their record of not losing against Proteas since 2015 intact.
After posting a total of 201 runs on the board, Indian bowlers oozed their class and put South Africa under tremendous pressure. Almost everyone chipped in and made sure they entertained everyone. Kuldeep Yadav, who came late into the attack, made sure that he made a mark in the game.
He produced a peach to send Donovan Ferreira packing. The batter had no clue about the delivery by Kuldeep Yadav and had to take the long walk back to the pavilion. The Chinaman bowler bowled a low delivery that turned in and hit the pads to castle the stumps.
Kuldeep Yadav bowled a delivery that skidded a little off the deck. The batter was undone by the lack of bounce and the line as well. He failed to get the bat down in time as the ball hit the stumps.
