Trying to be a bit better with rhythm, which helps in pace turn, says left-arm wrist-spinner Kuldeep

CHATTOGRAM: On his return to Test cricket after 22 months, left-arm wrist-spinner Kuldeep Yadav had an eventful time against Bangladesh on day two of first Test at Chattogram.

Kuldeep feels that a pursuit to be better in rhythm has helped him in getting his quick pace and finding turn. "I haven't done nothing much with my action. It has been a year now, just trying to be a bit better with my rhythm, which has helped me with my pace and turn. After I got injured, I started working on my rhythm, trying to be a bit quicker - that's helping me a lot," he said to broadcasters after the end of day's play.

Kuldeep had instant success when he had captain Shakib Al Hasan caught at first slip off a leg-break on his second delivery of the match. He then took out Nurul Hasan, who tried to flick off a leg-break, but Shubman Gill moved swiftly to his right to take a sharp catch at short-leg.

In his next over, Kuldeep had two more scalps - spinning past the inside edge of Rahim to trap him plumb lbw on the front pad and cramping Taijul Islam for room with a googly, forcing him to chop on to his stumps.

"I was a bit nervous at the start. I was a bit lucky to the first wicket in the first over. Got the momentum back. After a couple of overs I started feeling good, I was mixing my deliveries and was getting good turn as well. Tried both the angles - over the wicket and round the wicket, and I was actually loving it," added Kuldeep. IANS
