#PlayOfTheDay: Kuldeep’s magical fifer vs Windies

In the second Test between India and West Indies, which is underway at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi, the home side restricted the visitors at 248 in 81.5 overs, courtesy a five-wicket haul for Kuldeep

Yadav and a three-fer from Ravindra Jadeja. With the Roston Chase & Co. resuming the innings from 140/4 on Day 3 of the ongoing Test, they were bundled out in just an hour after lunch.

However, the Windies pushed their limits with Jomel Warrican and Anderson Phillip stitching a crucial stand for the ninth wicket, but their partnership was broken soon after lunch by Jasprit Bumrah, who bowled a brilliant yorker. However, minutes later, Kuldeep Yadav got the final wicket to restrict West Indies at 248, trailing by 270 runs at the innings’ closure.

However, Shubman Gill-led Team India enforced a follow-on soon after West Indies’ first innings, Kuldeep Yadav stole the limelight with his brilliant bowling spell which saw him finish with the figure of 5/82 in his 26.5 over spell as he picked the final wicket in Jayden Seales. With this, he joined Johnny Wardle in the list of most five-fers by left-arm spinners in Test cricket, now having picked five five-wicket hauls.

With India enforcing a follow-on, first time since the last came in 2015 against Bangladesh in Fatullah, John Campbell and Tagenarine Chanderpaul took the guards once again for the visitors as they aim to put on a lead for India. At the end of five overs after the follow-on, West Indies had posted 14/0.
