Kuldeep Yadav takes 2 wickets in 3 balls to leave West Indies in a spot of bother in IND vs WI 2025 2nd Test [Watch]

India’s left-arm wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav claimed two wickets in the space of three balls to put West Indies in trouble on Day 4 (Monday, October 13) of the ongoing second Test of the two-match series. The contest is being played at Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi.

On the third ball of the 92nd over of West Indies’ second innings, Kuldeep bowled a tossed-up delivery on the leg-stump line. Roston Chase went back to play it on the on-side but was early on the shot, sending the ball looping to straight mid-wicket, where Devdutt Padikkal completed a sharp catch, dismissing the visitors’ skipper for 40 off 72 balls.

Kuldeep struck again on the fifth ball of the over, this time dismissing Khary Pierre. He bowled a flighted delivery, and the southpaw went for a big swipe across the line, sending the ball high in the air, with Nitish Kumar Reddy completing the formalities at mid-off as Pierre fell for a two-ball duck.
