In a dominant display of spin-bowling prowess, the Indian cricket team showcased their might in the first ODI against West Indies, led by the dynamic duo of Ravindra Jadeja and Kuldeep Yadav. The hosts were left bewildered as they crumbled to a mere 114 runs, while India secured a comfortable 5-wicket victory.
After the game, Kuldeep and Jadeja engaged in a delightful chat, filled with camaraderie and some playful teasing. Jadeja playfully mocked Kuldeep for his new hairstyle, to which the chinaman bowler responded in good spirits, admitting that he is a great fan of Jadeja’s style both on and off the field.

“Kuldeep has brought a cool hairstyle with him from India in this warm weather in Barbados. Only long hair can protect you in this heat, if you keep short hair here, your head will burn down,” Jadeja teased, to which Kuldeep cheekily replied, “I am following Ravindra Jadeja in everything he does, he is my favourite.”

Beyond their light-hearted banter, the spinners discussed cricketing matters and showered praises on the team’s fast bowlers for their outstanding performance. Kuldeep commended the pace battery, especially debutant Mukesh Kumar, for providing a strong start, allowing the spinners to capitalize on the situation.
“The fast bowlers gave us a good start today, Mukesh [Kumar] bowled really well on his debut. [To Jadeja] When you came into the attack, you kept taking wickets in a heap, and then I came in and took the rest. I think we bowled just like a pair should, we bowled like a good bowling unit,” Kuldeep Yadav shared.
