India vs South Africa: For Kuldeep Yadav, not only the Kolkata Test but also the wicket of South African captain Temba Bavuma in his first innings has become special. And, with this, Kuldeep Yadav was once again seen dominating in red ball cricket. The only reason why Kolkata Test is special for Kuldeep Yadav is that this is his first Test match at Eden Gardens. Earlier in his career, out of all the 15 Tests he played, none of them were played at Eden Gardens.

Why is Bavuma’s wicket special for Kuldeep Yadav?

Now the question is how did the wicket of Temba Bavuma become special for Kuldeep Yadav? India’s Chinaman bowler has actually achieved a big achievement by taking the wicket of the South African captain. By doing this he completed his 150 wickets on Indian soil. Meaning, Temba Bavuma was his 150th victim among international wickets taken in India.

How did Kuldeep uproot Bavuma’s feet?

Kuldeep Yadav showed the way to the pavilion by getting Temba Bavuma caught by Dhruv Jurel standing at leg slip. Captain Bavuma could score only 3 runs facing 11 balls.
