India vs West Indies: 4 reasons why West Indies lost the 1st T20I

#2. Kuldeep Yadav rattles visitors with a three-for

In the first T20I in Kolkata, the home team decided to go in with a specialized spinner in Kuldeep Yadav and a spinning all-rounder Krunal Pandya to do the job for the team. This meant no place in the team for Yuzvendra Chahal. Kuldeep delivered the goods for his skipper as his wrist-spin got the better of the opposition. He rattled the West Indies' batting order with a 3-for in his superb spell of bowling.

The opposition batters were left reeling as they failed to pick Kuldeep from his wrist. He made life miserable with his economical spell of four overs at such a crucial juncture in the game. He didn't allow the opposition to flourish in the middle overs and helped to take a firm control over the game. It was indeed a game-changing spell as India reigned supremacy in the entire course of the first innings.
