India’s left-arm wrist-spinner Kuldeep Yadav claimed his second wicket of the morning, dismissing West Indies wicketkeeper-batter Tevin Imlach on Day 3 (Sunday, October 12) of the ongoing second Test of the two-match series. The contest is being played at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi.
The dismissal came off the last ball of the 52nd over of the visitors’ first innings. Kuldeep delivered a length ball that spun sharply into the right-hander. Imlach, moving onto the back foot, attempted to work it towards the leg side but missed, getting struck on the knee. At short leg, Devdutt Padikkal reacted quickly, diving forward to complete a brilliant catch as umpire Richard Illingworth raised his finger.
The West Indies batter opted for a review, but UltraEdge confirmed there was no bat involved, and ball-tracking showed all three reds, upholding the on-field decision. The dismissal handed Kuldeep Yadav his third wicket of the innings.
