During the second Qualifier of the 11th season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) between Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) at Kolkata, Kolkata Knight Riders’ Kuldeep Yadav was successful in dismissing the opposition’s top two batsmen.
Earlier Dinesh Karthik, captain of Kolkata Knight Riders, had won the toss and chose to field. Kolkata Knight Riders made a solitary change to their playing eleven, bringing in Shivam Mavi in place of Javon Searles. The change means that they are playing with only three overseas players. On the other hand, Sunrisers Hyderabad made three changes to their playing eleven. Wriddhiman Saha, Deepak Hooda and Khaleel Ahmed were included in the squad in place of Sreevats Goswami, Manish Pandey and Sandeep Sharma.
Yadav was introduced into the attack in the eighth over of the innings. In only his first over, he conceded a paltry five runs, picking up the wickets of Shikhar Dhawan and Kane Williamson.
On the first delivery of the over, Dhawan’s attempt to sweep a fuller delivery saw him missing the ball altogether. Once the ball hit hit back thigh and the bowler appealed, it was clear that the decision would go in the favour of the bowler. Dhawan ended up scoring 34 (24) with the help of four fours and a six.

On the penultimate delivery of the over, Yadav induced the outside edge of Williamson’s bat. The ball was comfortably caught by Karthik behind the stumps. Williamson scored 3 (3). Watch the video:
