IPL 2018, KKR vs RR: 5 talking points

#3 Kuldeep Yadav spins a web around the Royals

Kuldeep Yadav picked up four top-order wickets to put in his best performance of IPL 2018 thus far

Ahead of the match tonight, former Indian skipper and head coach Anil Kumble was speaking about how Kuldeep Yadav hasn't been at his best in the IPL, and the 23-year-old responded in the best possible fashion with his impeccable spell of bowling tonight.

Yadav picked up four wickets, conceding just 20 runs off his 4 overs. He was on the top of his game tonight as the Royals batsmen found it hard to pick him all night long.

While Rahane' wicket was a gift, Yadav picked up the all-important wicket of Jos Buttler and then the dangerous Ben Stokes, before he finished things off with the wicket of Stuart Binny.

He deservedly picked up the Man-of-the-Match award for his role in turning around the match's fortunes for his side.
