The young Kuldeep Yadav scalped three wickets in his second ODI to help India restrict West Indies to 205-6. Skipper Virat Kohli described the spinner as a lethal bowler.
“His cross seam deliveries turn both ways. I have faced him in the IPL. He’s quite amazing with what he does with the bowl and especially on dry wickets like it was today, he becomes even more lethal. Credit to him for putting up such a performance,” he said.
“A wrist spinner is a bonus. When you talk about the 2019 World Cup, We have 15 players here, 10-12 players are ready back home, who will be tested how they react in pressure situation, and who is going make impact in middle overs with the ball. We need to identify and then figure out who are performing under pressure.”
Talking about the overall team composition, Kohli said:
“For us as a team, it’s about doing the things right that we can do right, execute our skills to the best of our potential and regardless of how the opposition reacts, we want to do our things right, stay committed on the field be it batting, bowling or fielding.”
India will play the third ODI on June 30 at Antigua’s Sir Vivian Richards stadium.
