Kuldeep Yadav takes 11th 4-wicket haul in ODIs in ODIs; surpasses this Indian legendary spinner
NEW DELHI: Kuldeep Yadav (4/41) and Prasidh Krishna (4/66) shared eight wickets as India bowled out South Africa for 270 in the third ODI on Saturday, even though Quinton de Kock scored 106.
De Kock made 106 off 89 balls with eight fours and six sixes. Captain Temba Bavuma scored 48 from 67 balls with five fours, but the other South African batters could not build on the start.
Prasidh took two wickets in the 29th over, dismissing Matthew Breetzke (24) and Aiden Markram. Kuldeep then took control of the rest of the innings, removing the lower order.
Kuldeep continued his strong record against South Africa in ODIs, claiming his fifth four-wicket haul against them in the final match of the series.
At one stage during the Visakhapatnam ODI , South Africa were 199/4 in the 33rd over, and de Kock had completed his 23rd ODI century. Dewald Brevis and Marco Jansen kept the scoring rate high, but Kuldeep dismissed both in the same over, shifting the match. South Africa fell from 234/5 to 270 all out. Kuldeep finished with 4/41 in 10 overs.
Across 16 ODIs against South Africa, Kuldeep has taken 36 wickets at an average of 17.58, with a strike rate of 21.3 and an economy of 4.95. His five four-wicket hauls against South Africa are the most by an Indian bowler against any team in ODIs, going past the four each taken by Zaheer Khan against Zimbabwe and Mohammed Shami against West Indies.
Kuldeep also extended his record in Visakhapatnam, where he now has 13 wickets in five matches at an average of 16.46. This is his best bowling return at the venue.
Kuldeep (11) also moved past former spinner Anil Kumble (10) and former fast bowler Javagal Srinath (10) to become the third Indian bowler with the most four-wicket (or more) hauls in ODIs.
