India failed to surpass England’s total in the 4th test despite batting first, but a stellar performance by Yashasvi Jaiswal and Dhruv Jurel revived India’s chances. R Ashwin and Kuldeep Yadav’s consistent efforts solidified India’s position, with Kuldeep’s leg-spin proving unplayable. Kuldeep conceded only 20 runs and claimed 4 crucial wickets in 13 overs, a standout performance that revitalized India’s momentum.
Kuldeep’s bowling heroics earned praise from Indian cricket fans and even drew comparisons from English cricketing legend Michael Vaughan, who tweeted, “The best compliment I can give him today. He has bowled like a left-armed Shane Warne.”

Kuldeep Yadav has been in redemption mode ever since his comeback from the Asia Cup in Sri Lanka. His performance in the World Cup boosted India’s chances of lifting the trophy, were it not for Australia’s dominating comeback in the finals. Kuldeep Yadav stands as the spin leader for Team India, which is undergoing a transition to replace the likes of Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, R Ashwin, Shikhar Dhawan, Umesh Yadav, Cheteshwar Pujara, Ajinkya Rahane, and Ravindra Jadeja. With his prowess, Kuldeep Yadav is poised to lead India’s spin department.
