The Indian team management sent Kuldeep Yadav to bat at number 4. You watched the batting order shift again as the side slipped in the 2nd innings. The move raised questions after the early dismissals of Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul.
Early collapse
Both openers fell quickly for 13 and 6. You saw the pressure rise as the innings lost balance. With the top order gone, Kuldeep walked in to join Sai Sudharsan and steady the crease in a tense situation.
Role in focus
Fans debated his position. No one was sure if he arrived as a night watchman or if he received a genuine promotion after his previous innings. His placement surprised you and sparked fresh discussions among viewers.
Long stay at the crease
Kuldeep faced 134 balls and scored 19 runs. For a bowler, this stand impressed many. You saw jokes about Gambhir sending the chinaman up the order, yet the decision turned real and left the public stunned.
End of day update
