Kuldeep Yadav was the star of the show for India in the first T20I when he picked up five wickets. He completely outfoxed English batsmen and was superb in his four overs spell. Kuldeep arrested run flow in the middle overs that resulted in quick wickets.

However, he was easily dealt with in the second T20I. England batsmen played him a lot better than they did at Old Trafford. They played him on the back foot and did not take any unnecessary risks.

It allowed them to score runs at a decent pace in the middle overs, without losing regular wickets. He also bowed too full in his last over, and Bairstow struck him for consecutive sixes. Kuldeep finished with figures of 4-0-34-0. He was struck for three huge sixes in his four overs spell, all of them came off full deliveries.
