Kuldeep Yadav does not shy away from expressing himself on the field and it was very evident once again on Wednesday (April 17) when Delhi Capitals and Gujarat Titans faced off in the ongoing 32nd game of IPL 2024 at the Narendra Modi. Stadium.
The left-arm spinner lost his cool and shouted at his teammate after a wayward shot by the latter. The incident took place in the eighth over when Kuldeep Yadav was bowling to Gujarat Titans all-rounder Rahul Tewatia.
On the fifth ball of the over, the India star bowled a full delivery that turned and Tewatia pushed the ball towards the point region. Meanwhile, Abhinav Manohar, who was on the non-striker’s side, decided to take a quick single.
Tewatia, however, was watching the ball. Mukesh Kumar charged towards the ball and collected it before firing it towards the non-striker’s side while Manohar was outside the box. The delivery, however, was not good from Mukesh Kumar and Kuldeep Yadav lost his cool when he was heard shouting, “Pagal wagal hai kya? (Are you crazy?)”.

Talking about the game, GT was bowled out for just 89 runs in less than 18 overs after he was asked to bat first. It is the first time in IPL history that GT was bowled out for less than 100 runs in an innings. His previous lowest total in the IPL was 125/6. Incidentally, his previous lowest total also came against DC.
GT lost ground from the start. As a result, his innings never had the necessary impetus. Only three GT batsmen could score in double figures, while Rashid Khan was the only player to score more than 15 runs. While he scored 31 runs, Sai Sudharsan (12) and Rahul Tewatia (10) were the others who reached the double-digit mark.
For DC, right-arm pacer Mukesh Kumar starred in the ball, taking three wickets for 14 runs in less than three overs. Ishant Sharma and Tristan Stubbs also claimed two wickets each.
