Watch: Kuldeep Yadav destroys Harshit Kaushik’s stumps with unbelievable delivery, bags 3 wickets in 1 over in Asia Cup
Table of Contents
Kuldeep Yadav made an unbelievable return to the Indian T20I side as he picked three wickets in a single over in the Asia Cup match between India and the UAE. UAE batters struggled to cope with Kuldeep Yadav's spin on home ground.
Kuldeep Yadav is also making a much-awaited return to the Indian T20I side, much like Jasprit Bumrah. Bumrah picked a wicket earlier in the game with a beauty against the opener, and the spinner did it after the power play ended.
Kuldeep Yadav's three-wicket over turns the momentum of the game
When Kuldeep came in to bowl the second over of his spell in the 9th over of the game, the United Arab Emirates had already lost their two early wickets but had survived 3 overs from Jasprit Bumrah, which seemed like positive signs. Muhammad Waseem was present on the screen.
Kuldeep first bowled a tossed-up delivery, and Rahul Chopra was caught in the deep, while Kuldeep backed his first wicket with a second in the over, and that was a big fish. The UAE skipper Muhammad Waseem was dismissed for just 19 runs.
After all the carnage done in the over, Kuldeep delivered an absolute stunner as his flipper spun back sharply into the left-handed batter Harshit Kaushik. The batter was left bamboozled and Kuldeep got his third wicket of the over's last ball.

Kuldeep Yadav finishes with 4/7 figures on Asia Cup return
The Indian spin maestro has unlocked a new feat of greatness within the Indian team. Kuldeep Yadav, the left-arm chinaman bowler, has spun his web at the Dubai International Stadium, and UAE batters have been trapped within it.
Kuldeep bowled 2.1 overs in his spell and picked up 4 wickets in just 13 balls. The first wicket was of Rahul, the middle-order batter who never got going and was the first wicket to fall in the humiliating collapse of the UAE team.
Kuldeep completed his four-fer with the wicket of the last batsman, Haider Ali, as he simply walked back without even going for a DRS on his dismissal. The wicket brought Kuldeep to a hat-trick chance, which will be kept lined for his next international game.
This might not be Kuldeep's best figures in a T20I game, but it would undoubtedly be one of his most memorable games throughout his career.
Can Arshdeep Singh make his comeback against Pakistan after Indian spinners steal the show in Dubai?
After such a dominating show from the Indian spin trio of Varun Chakravarthy, Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav, and Dube's resistance as the third seamer for India, Indian pacer Arshdeep's return into the playing XI seems highly unlikely.
India's next game is against Pakistan, and it is at the same venue as the Dubai International Stadium. Considering the favourability for spinners and Kuldeep's strong performance, Chakravarthy standing in with his stats and Axar Patel adding depth to the Indian batting order, Arshdeep's return for the Pakistan game seems highly unlikely.
