Kuldeep Yadav's majestic (5/72) wreaks havoc on England (218), trailing India (135/1) by 83 runs at stumps on day 1

[BouncerGuy]

Kuldeep strikes.

WICKET! Duckett c Gill b Kuldeep 27 - England 64-1

 

[Ahmed216]

Some half hearted shots against spinners.

 

[Ahmed216]

Watching this only for magician Kuldeep

 

[Ahmed216]

50 for Crawley. He has played beautifully in this series just hasn’t kicked on to get a big one

 

[Human786]

looks like high scoring 1st 2 innings at the very least , DRAW ? 99/1 in 25

 

[Ahmed216]

languid hit down the ground from Crawley. Huge six from one of the best timers of the ball in the game currently. So good to watch

 

[Human786]

100/2 Poped

 

[Ahmed216]

I’d kiss Kuldeep if I meet him. Genius

 

[MP2011]

Kuldeep takes out Pope too.

 

[MP2011]

Lunch will taste all the more better now!

 

[MANU ROY]

Kuldeep again take wicket this time pop

 

[MP2011]

I’d kiss Kuldeep if I meet him. Genius

And guess what, Axar has played more tests than Kuldeep

 

[MANU ROY]

Pop failures continues after the fluke 196

 

[MANU ROY]

And guess what, Axar has played more tests than Kuldeep

he made test debut in 2017 and only played 12 matches that is crazy

 

[Blackbradman]

"Badega aage, badega aage," (he will step out) chirps Dhruv Jurel to Kuldeep

Next ball out stumped..

 

[MP2011]

he made test debut in 2017 and only played 12 matches that is crazy

Kohli treated him really shabbily, Rohit is bit better in that regard.

 

[MANU ROY]

Dhruv jurel guiding Kuldeep before the wicket of pop just like mad

 

[BouncerGuy]

IMO, session one is pretty even for both teams.

 

[MANU ROY]

"Badega aage, badega aage," (he will step out) chirps Dhruv Jurel to Kuldeep

Next ball out stumped..

Some cricket experts already saying he is upcoming msd

 

[cricketcricket79]

Kuldeep is always looking like taking a wicket. What a bowler. For a change Rohit did not use him as an afterthought to Jaddu and Ashwin.

 

[MANU ROY]

Kohli treated him really shabbily, Rohit is bit better in that regard.

Kohli almost end Kuldeep career in ipl Kuldeep almost cried in that match

 

[MP2011]

And its fault of batsmen like Kohli, PuRane, Rahul etc too. They were really poor with bat for 3 years and hence batting had to be beefed up by playing Axar more than he should have been.

 

[sindhiboy]

two absolute gifts from england after playing out a tricky first hour

 

[BouncerGuy]

Former England captain Sir Alastair Cook, speaking on TNT Sports:

"It was a really good morning session of cricket.

"I think England will be disappointed, clearly, with Ollie Pope getting out on the stroke of lunch - but, actually, the amount of swing India found...they'll say they were actually doing well to only lose two wickets.

"Crawley was excellent."

 

[MANU ROY]

Crawley would have been out if Rohit take the review

 

[AMSS]

Once again Jurel shows what a propagandist and liar Dravid is to spin the canard about Bharat being a better keeper.

 

[MP2011]

two absolute gifts from england after playing out a tricky first hour

See what Cook had to say about first session,

Actually, the amount of swing India found...they'll say they were actually doing well to only lose two wickets.

 

[MP2011]

England is really lucky today.

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

If England can end series with a 2-3 result, that wouldn't be too bad.

England were competitive throughout the series even if the scorecard doesn't show it.

yeah. the same with our 2018 series played in England. dont think 3-1 or whatever it was, was an accurate reflection of the fantastic way we played.

 

[RamLakhan]

Kuldeep likes Dharmashala pitch

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Time for Siraj Bhai to step up and deliver .....this series he has gone missing...he needs to seriously fire here

 

[Human786]

r/r suggests all the talk about being still brave is mere talk & Bazball has NOW been quietly buried in the backyard looking at the quality of Bumrah & Kuldeep . 129/2 in 35 .

 

[BouncerGuy]

crawley has crossed 400 runs in the series now for England.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Jadeja comes into the attack. Get ready for a wicket.

 

[Human786]

CRAWLED 137/3

 

[BouncerGuy]

WICKET! Crawley b Kuldeep 79 – England 137-3

BOWLED ‘IM!
3rd one for Kuldeep now.

 

[BouncerGuy]

No hundred for Crawley, who has just fallen to a sizzling delivery from Kuldeep, a real magic ball.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Best spinner in the world Kuldeep

 

[Human786]

WICKET! Crawley b Kuldeep 79 – England 137-3

BOWLED ‘IM!
3rd one for Kuldeep now.

slow you are Bairy in his 100th - lets see him bazballing !

 

[Swashbuckler]

Kuldeep's bowling reminds me of Shane Warne, there is a level of artistry I have never seen in another spinner in my life.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Bairy in his 100th - lets see him bazballing !

It was no doubt an emotional walk for him but he needs to park that now and ensure England do not fold after the dismissal of Crawley.

 

[jnaveen1980]

England probably is so much lukcy today. On another day they would be 120/8

 

[MP2011]

Kuldeep drops Bairstow off his own bowling.

 

[Croma]

This is good fast paced batting by England, not letting the Indian bowlers to settle.

 

[Croma]

Bairstow hasnt crossed 40 this series, so he is getting very close to getting out now

 

[Human786]

175/4

 

[MP2011]

Lol, Kuldeep takes out Bairstow too

 

[Croma]

This is my fastest prediction in PP till date

Bairstow hasnt crossed 40 this series, so he is getting very close to getting out now

 

[MP2011]

50 test wickets for Kuldeep.

 

[MP2011]

Had he been playing for any other test playing nation, he might have taken at least 100 test wickets by now.

 

[Croma]

Take out Jadeja and let Bumrah have a go at Joe Root (unless he's already done it)

 

[MP2011]

Time to take out the Stokes, the sook.

 

[Croma]

Ok, Bumrah's bowled 12 already, my bad! let him rest

 

[Human786]

UPROOTED

 

[RamLakhan]

Had he been playing for any other test playing nation, he might have taken at least 100 test wickets by now.

He can fit into Australian test team perfectly and can become new Warne...! With their kind of tall fast bowlers (3 pacers), relentlessly consistent pace bowling (creating foot marks on hard surfaces of Australia), he can get the perfect space to create trouble to opposition.

 

[MP2011]

Root gone too?

 

[Croma]

Jadeja takes out Root and England in tatters

 

[MP2011]

Root gone cheaply again

 

[MP2011]

He can fit into Australian test team perfectly and can become new Warne...! With their kind of tall fast bowlers (3 pacers), relentlessly consistent pace bowling (creating foot marks on hard surfaces of Australia), he can get the perfect space to create trouble to opposition.

He'll fit in any nation's test playing XI.

 

[MP2011]

That was a poor review from Root

 

[Human786]

OUTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

 

[jnaveen1980]

Kuldeep is new shane warne. On a good batting ticket he is making their hair split.

 

[Croma]

Looks like STokes is surprised again

 

[Smbhayi]

Stokes has no clue which way it's gonna spin, anybody can see that googly is coming..

 

[Human786]

So 5000 Eng fans in Dharamshala , will they leave on day 4 ? KD is a STRIKE bowler .

 

[MP2011]

lol, Stokes is sooking about this dismissal too. Gone for nought.

 

[MP2011]

England is now out of reviews, 5-for for Kuldeep.

 

[jnaveen1980]

England is all at sea against Kuldeep

 

[Swashbuckler]

Had he been playing for any other test playing nation, he might have taken at least 100 test wickets by now.

This is the passing of baton series from Ashwin to Kuldeep.

Not saying Axar was bad, because his batting provided lots of cover for faded Pujara, Kohli, Rahane in 2021-23. But Kuldeep is just built different, destined for greatness.

 

[MP2011]

England is all at sea against Kuldeep

And to think Kuldeep wasn't played in the only test England won in this series!

 

[Vikram1989]

Some cricket experts already saying he is upcoming msd

I never saw apart from msd correctly predicting the batsmen movements. I never saw Pant ,Saha, Dk and Bharath helping the spinners like.msd to Kul cha.

 

[MP2011]

PuRane should have been booted out of team at least an year ahead of their eventual dropping.

 

[Swashbuckler]

Selfish use of reviews by Root and Stokes, both were plumb.

 

[Human786]

Make no mistake , this is a decent batting deck . 183/7

 

[Swashbuckler]

All time disaster of a series for Stokes, his batting reminds me of Ponting in the 2001 Border Gavaskar Trophy, absolutely clueless against spin. His reputation has taken a big hit, his numbers in India and Australia make for dismal reading. Can he be called a test great? @Mamoon as usual spot on.

 

[Croma]

7 down

 

[MP2011]

Ashwin picks up his 1st wicket in his 100th test.

 

[Croma]

Hartley trying too much too early.

 

[MP2011]

So far he has been a HTB, most of his out of the world exploits have come at home, be it tests or ODIs.

He has done absolutely nothing in his career apart from 1-2 exceptional knocks.
