Kuldeep Yadav’s frustration boiled over once more on Wednesday during the match between Delhi Capitals and Gujarat Titans, clearly visible for all to see on the field.
During the eighth over, tensions flared on the field as a miscommunication led to a heated exchange between teammates. Kuldeep Yadav, the skilled left-arm spinner, found himself frustrated after a throw went astray from his teammate.
In the midst of Yadav’s bowling to Rahul Tewatia of the Gujarat Titans, a crucial moment arose on the fifth delivery. Tewatia expertly directed the ball towards the point region, focusing solely on the play. Meanwhile, Abhinav Manohar, stationed at the non-striker’s end, seized the opportunity for a quick single.
The misunderstanding unfolded as Mukesh Kumar, eager to retrieve the ball, swiftly moved towards it. With precision, he grabbed the ball and swiftly aimed it toward the non-striker’s end where Manohar stood, unaware of the impending throw. The throw, however, was not good from Mukesh Kumar and Kuldeep Yadav lost his cool as he was heard yelling: “Pagal wagal hai kya? (Are you crazy?)”
GT suffered a major setback today, hitting an all-time low as they were bundled out for a mere 89 runs in less than 18 overs, having been asked to bat first. This game goes down in history as the first time GT has been dismissed for under 100 runs in an IPL match. Strikingly, their previous lowest score was 125/6, which also happened against DC.
Right from the start, GT faced a tough time, losing wickets early on and struggling to gain any momentum throughout their innings. Only three players from GT managed to get into double digits on the scoreboard. Rashid Khan emerged as the top scorer with 31 runs, while Sai Sudharsan contributed 12 and Rahul Tewatia added 10 more to the tally.
DC’s bowling attack was nothing short of formidable, spearheaded by Mukesh Kumar, who claimed 3 crucial wickets for just 14 runs in less than three overs. Ishant Sharma and Tristan Stubbs also made significant contributions, each securing two wickets apiece.
