NEW DELHI: Indian spinner Kuldeep Yadav reflected on his performance in the marquee World Cup clash against Pakistan, where he created confusion in the minds of Pakistani batsmen, leading them to play high-risk sweep shots despite struggling to read his deliveries.
Kuldeep took the crucial wickets of Saud Shakeel and Iftikhar Ahmed, both of whom attempted the sweep shot against the left-arm wrist spinner, leading to Pakistan's batting collapse. He admitted that his deliveries were difficult for the batsmen to read, and they were uncertain whether to sweep or play conventionally.
