The Indian chinaman, Kuldeep Yadav seems to be have impressed former England skipper, Michael Vaughan with his bowling performance in the second innings of the ongoing Test against England in Ranchi. Vaughan had no hesitation in calling Kuldeep as ‘left-handed Shane Warne.’
Kuldeep Yadav left most of the English batters clueless as he registered another 4-fer of his career and made sure that the visitors didn’t get a healthy second innings lead in the Test match. Michael Vaughan took to Twitter and earlier made a prediction that the England innings may come to a close quickly as Kuldeep was bowling beautifully and he was;t wrong as the Englishmen were bundled out for 145, giving a target of 192 to India.

Kuldeep Yadav was ultra destructive in the third session of the day in which he bagged most of his wickets, and that tempted Michael Vaughan to take to X once again and gave him the ultimate compliment. He wrote: “The best compliment I can give @imkuldeep18.. Today he has bowled today like a left armed Shane Warne ..”

Kuldeep had an eventful day on Day 3 of the Test with bat as well, as he amassed 28 off 131 balls and made a partnership of 77 runs with Dhruv Jurel for the 8th wicket. He was unlucky to get out, but he made sure that England got a lead of 46. After Ravichandran Ashwin sclaped the first three wickets of England, Kuldeep came in to get the big wicket of Zak Crawley, who was batting at 60.

Zak Crawley attempted a cut shot but misjudged the spin from Kuldeep’s delivery and exposed his stumps. The spinner would then get the scalp of Ben Stokes, who had survived a DRS call. The England skipper was cleaned up after a fine delivery from Kuldeep would sneak in and clip the stumps.
