— Pari | Birmingham 269 (@Pari_Preeti10) October 12, 2025Kuldeep Yadav Reflects on Long-Awaited Five-Wicket Haul in 2nd India vs West Indies 2025 Test
Indian spinner Kuldeep Yadav spoke after the third day of play in the second Test, reflecting on his five-wicket haul and his team’s bowling effort, saying:
“The wicket was good to bat on and there wasn’t any pace in it. So we tried to hit the right length. Hitting the stumps was the plan. The first innings was brilliant. In second innings they batted really well. Hope and Campbell have started well and are batting really well at the moment. The wicket is obviously on the slower side here and there isn’t any pace in it so you have to generate energy.”

Shedding light on his thought process, Kuldeep continued:
“For wrist-spinners it is difficult sometimes but getting the right length and trying to beat the batters in the air was my plan. I was just trying to up my arm speed. Yesterday I bowled well but there wasn’t any fizz from the wicket so I had to create something. I was trying to beat the batter in the air. Taking a five-wicket haul after a long time was special.”
