Kuldeep Yadav’s Sincere Response to the Journalist’s “Can Bangladesh Win 1st Test” Question In the first innings of the first Test, Kuldeep Yadav scored 5 for 40 against Bangladesh. In the same inning, the wrist spinner also hit 40 runs with the bat.
Kuldeep Yadav emerged as the preferred bowler for the tourists, taking 5 wickets in the first innings of the first Test against Bangladesh, marking India’s triumphant return to Test cricket.
In terms of the game’s longest format, Kuldeep’s figures of 5 for 40 earned him a special place in history as the best for an Indian spinner in Bangladesh. Kuldeep spoke to the media after Day 3 on Friday, when India set the hosts a target of 513 runs.
Kuldeep was questioned about everything from his performance to the pitch’s nature during an interview with the media. Kuldeep managed to respond as truthfully as he could to a specific question that caught him off guard a little.
The left-arm wrist spinner was asked by a journalist whether Bangladesh, chasing a massive target of 513 runs, could win the first Test of the series.
Kuldeep responded with a chuckle, ” Personally, that is not what I want!”
This is cricket. Probably! If someone gets a 300! We will try to eliminate them as soon as possible. That is our principal objective for later,” he added.
Bangladesh was bowled out for just 150 runs in response to India’s 404-run first-innings total. However, Kuldeep, who scored 40 runs off 114 balls, believes the surface was ideal for batsmen.
The pitch, in my opinion, is ideal for bats.
Even against spinners, it was excellent to bat on. Yes, some balls are maintaining a low profile and a few are turning. The spinner stated, “Me and Ash bhai (R Ashwin) were initially looking at a score of 360 for the first innings, but as time went on, batting became easier, so we looked at a 400-run total.”
On Day 4, India would like to eliminate Bangladesh in the first few sessions. On Day 3, the hosts were able to score 42 runs without losing a single wicket.
