Delhi Capitals (DC) leg-spinner Kuldeep Yadav has been impressive in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 so far. He has been leaving a lot of batters perplexed and he did the same during a practice match ahead of DC’s clash against the Lucknow Super Giants on April 7. The Capitals have won one out of their two matches in IPL 2022. However, Kuldeep has been impressive with the ball so far, scalping four wickets in a couple of games.

However, Kuldeep was adjudged player of the match against the five-time champions Mumbai Indians (MI) in DC’s first match.
