Watch: How Kuldeep Yadav bamboozled South Africa in 2.5 overs | Cricket News – Times of India
India rode on a blistering 56-ball 100 by skipper Suryakumar Yadav to reach 201/7, after which Kuldeep’s 2.5 overs produced five wickets for just 17 runs to bamboozle South Africa, who were shot out for just 95.
BCCI shared highlights of Kuldeep’s spell in a video as he triggered South African collapse, and what made it extra special was the fact that he did it on his birthday.
As a result of India’s win, the three-match series ended in a 1-1 tie, as the first match in Durban was washed out.
The white-ball leg of India’s tour will now move to the three-match ODI series, which begins with the first game December 17 in Johannesburg.
The red-ball leg will see the teams playing two Tests beginning December 26.
Kuldeep’s dream spell made him the sixth Indian bowler to bag a five-wicket haul in T20Is.
