Follow UsWhen quality spinners like Yuzvendra Chahal and Rashid Khan are struggling for form in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025, Kuldeep Yadav has shown how it is done. Against Mumbai Indians (MI) he picked up his ninth wicket of the season, bowling Ryan Rickelton with a superb delivery.
Rickelton was on fire, having already hit five fours and a couple of sixes on his way to a destructive 25-ball 41. However, Kuldeep had the last say, as he bowled a superb googly to breach Rickelton's defence, and the ball crashed into the stumps.
Kuldeep has been deadly against left-handed batters this season, having picked up three wickets at 10 and an economy rate of 5.5.
Moreover, out of his nine wickets this season, seven have come off googlies, conceding at just five an over at a staggering average of 54.4 and strike rate of 6.6. Delhi Capitals (DC) have been in excellent form this season, having won all their four games so far.
