Kuldeep Yadav finished his spell with the figures of 16-6-40-5 to register the best Test figures by an Indian spinner in Bangladesh.

Overall, the best bowling figures by an Indian in Test cricket in Bangladesh is 7/87, which was claimed by Zaheer Khan in Mirpur in 2007.

Meanwhile, this was Kuldeep’s third five-wicket haul in red-ball cricket, with the first two coming in Australia and India. This was also the left-arm wrist-spinnner’s career-best figures.

With the help of Kuldeep’s 5-wicket haul, Mohammed Siraj’s 3 wickets and Axar Patel and Umesh Yadav’s one wicket each, India managed to bowl out Bangladesh for a paltry 150 to take a huge 254-run lead.

I Was Very Lucky To Get The First Wicket In The First Over – Kuldeep Yadav

Speaking after Day 2, Kuldeep Yadav said that he was initially nervous, but after a few overs, he got comfortable and enjoyed his bowling. He stated:

“I was a bit nervous, I was very lucky to get the first wicket in the first over. Got the momentum back. After a couple of overs, I started feeling well, mixed my pace and variations, tried both the angles – over the wicket and round the wicket. I was getting proper turn, I was actually loving it. After I got injured, I started working on my rhythm after the injury, trying to be a bit quicker – that’s helping me a lot. I am not compromising with the spin.

“When I was batting, I thought that there was not much in it for the spinners. I didn’t face any discomfort while batting. I thought it’ll be good for batting. When you’re a wrist-spinner bowling with the Kookaburra ball, you’ll definitely get turn and bounce on such wickets.”
