Kuldeep Yadav Last Over: Head coach Gautam Gambhir is known for his strange decisions. Gambhir often makes changes in the Indian batting order but the Dharamshala head coach went a step further. Gautam Gambhir made such changes in the bowling in this match which surprised everyone. However, Team India benefited a lot from this change. In fact, during South Africa’s batting, Gautam Gambhir made Kuldeep Yadav bowl the last over and because of this decision, the opposition team got bundled out for 117 runs.
Last over done by Kuldeep Yadav
When the Indian team was bowling, after 19 overs, Gautam Gambhir sent a message on the field. He sent Sanju Samson on the field and asked Kuldeep Yadav to bowl the 20th over. Shivam Dubey and Hardik Pandya had one over each left but the responsibility of bowling the last 6 balls was given to Kuldeep Yadav. It was a very surprising decision to bowl the last over to a spinner but Kuldeep Yadav did an amazing job. In this over, Kuldeep Yadav took two wickets and South Africa collapsed for 117 runs.
However, like the last match, Gautam Gambhir looked a little angry in this match too. There was a chance of a catch on Harshit Rana’s ball but the fielder was not present there, after which Gautam Gambhir was seen a little angry. Those pictures are going viral on social media.
Gautam Gambhir isnt made for coaching at all. Just look at his reactions, getting angry at players like this. This guy seems angry 24/7. God knows how he even talks to the players in the dressing room. How are the players even surviving there? pic.twitter.com/J7bH6CL0NO
