"Despite limited opportunities....": Kumble hails Kuldeep for five-for against WI in Delhi Test
Oct 12, 2025
Kuldeep's five-wicket haul was instrumental in reducing WI from 156/4 to 248 all out in the visitors' first innings, giving India a gigantic lead during the second Test at Delhi on Sunday. After a chart-topping 17-wicket Asia Cup title-winning campaign, Kuldeep's appearances in these two Tests are his first since the home series against New Zealand last year, which India lost by 0-3, marking one of their darkest chapters in cricket. Kuldeep was in the squad for the England tour, but had to watch all five Tests from sidelines.
