Kuldeep Yadav struck early by dismissing Shai Hope on Day 3 of the ongoing second Test between India and the West Indies at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi on Sunday, October 12. Hope departed for 36 runs off 57 balls as the tourists lost half their side for 156.
The dismissal came in the 50th over of WI’s first innings and the seventh over of the day. The left-arm wrist-spinner bowled a flighted delivery that drifted away after pitching. Hope moved forward to block the delivery, expecting it to spin towards him. The ball beat the outside edge and crashed into the top of the off-stump as the bails were disturbed. With the dismissal, Kuldeep provided the first breakthrough for the hosts on Day 3.
