During the 6th ball of the 8th over, Kuldeep Yadav bowled a tossed-up delivery. Lucknow Super Giants batter KL Rahul went for a sweep and got beaten. The leg-spinner looked excited for it and was forcing skipper Rishabh Pant to take the DRS.

Kuldeep Yadav, however, had his man later on as he removed KL Rahul. The leg-spinner bowled a straighter delivery outside off, which kept low. The batter tried to go for a late cut and the ball flicked the bottom part of the bat. Rishabh Pant immediately went for the DRS as he knew the batter had nicked the ball.

Kuldeep Yadav has oozed his class with the ball. Earlier, he removed Marcus Stoinis to bag his first wicket for his team. After that, he produced a peach of a delivery to remove Nicholas Pooran with a peach. He made the in-form batter look clueless and sent him for a golden duck.
