Sri Lanka vs India 2017, 3rd Test: Day 2, 5 talking points

#3 Kuldeep Yadav’s variations too tough to handle for Sri Lankan batsmen

Kuldeep Yadav ran through the Sri Lankan middle-order

The young left-arm chinaman had another successful outing with the ball, picking up another four-for in Tests. Yadav mixed his pace and used his variations brilliantly to break open the Lankan middle-order.

The wrist spinner troubled all the batsmen with his wrong-un. The highest-scorer for the hosts, Chandimal too couldn’t pick the young spinner.

However, Yadav was unfortunate to miss out on a five-for. He bagged four wickets for 44, which is also his career best figures in his brief Test career so far.
