Kuldeep Yadav has unveiled his magic in the ongoing match against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) at the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024. The 26th league match between the teams will take place at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow.
Kuldeep Yadav tilted the game completely in favor of Delhi Capitals in the game against Lucknow Super Giants. The player, who missed the last few games due to injury, made sure to make an immediate impact for his team in the league’s comeback game.
Kuldeep Yadav in the first two overs he bowled in the game changed the tone of the game. The wrist spinner spun the ball perfectly and removed three wickets quickly. The Delhi Capitals spinner was in a rush of blood and appealed to almost everything that touched the pads.
During the sixth ball of the eighth over, Kuldeep Yadav bowled a bowled delivery. Lucknow Super Giants batsman KL Rahul took a sweep and was bowled. The leg-spinner looked enthusiastic and was forcing captain Rishabh Pant to take the DRS.
However, Delhi Capitals captain Rishabh Pant noticed that Kuldeep Yadav was having a rush. He took his time and tried to calm the leg spinner. In the end he managed to convince the spinner and the team continued bowling.

Kuldeep Yadav, however, got his man later when he removed KL Rahul. The leg-spinner bowled a straighter delivery from outside off, which stayed low. The batter attempted a late cut and the ball hit the underside of the bat. Rishabh Pant immediately opted for DRS because he knew that the batsman had stolen the ball.
Kuldeep Yadav has exuded class with the ball. Earlier, he removed Marcus Stoinis to get his first wicket for his team. After that, he produced a peach delivery to eliminate Nicholas Pooran with a peach. He made the in-form batsman look clueless and sent him for a golden duck.
Delhi Capitals bowlers wreak havoc on Lucknow Super Giants batsmen
The Delhi Capitals bowlers have been all over the Lucknow Super Giants batsmen in the ongoing game at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow. Khaleel Ahmed started the game with the ball for his team, removing Quinton de Kock and then Devdutt Padikkal.
After that, Kuldeep Yadav was in the middle order for the Lucknow Super Giants. The leg-spinner returned with figures of 3/20 in his 4 overs. Earlier, Ishant Sharma and Mukesh Kumar also contributed to reduce the home team to 94/7 at the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow.
The match will be extremely crucial for Delhi Capitals in the context of IPL 2024. They have not been at their best in the tournament. They are teetering at the bottom of the table and a win here would help them gain momentum and they would hope to continue.
