[Watch] Kuldeep Yadav cleans up Ben Stokes with extraordinary delivery on Day 3 of India vs England Ranchi Test

Kuldeep Yadav bowled a sensational delivery to outfox England captain Ben Stokes on Day 3 of the ongoing fourth Test on Sunday, February 25. With that, Stokes once again failed to deliver at the JSCA Stadium in Ranchi. The left-handed batter departed for just four runs in the second innings after being dismissed for three in the first innings.

The clean-bowled dismissal took place during the 33rd over of England’s innings on the stroke of Tea. The left-arm wrist spinner pitched a delivery around the leg stump and Stokes opened up in his defense to play inside the line, but the ball hit the back pad and rolled onto the stumps. Stokes looked amused with the dismissal as Kuldeep celebrated the big wicket.
