IPL 2022 is the season of revivals. Delhi Capitals’ sensational spinner Kuldeep Yadav made a terrific comeback in the Indian Premier League (IPL) as he picked up three wickets in his debut game for Delhi Capitals.
Kuldeep was a part of the Kolkata Knight Riders franchise, for whom he has played 42 games, ever since making his debut back in 2017. However, he was released from the squad ahead of the IPL 2022 mega-auctions, after enduring some disappointing seasons in the last few years. He was later roped in by Delhi Capitals at the mega-auctions for INR 2 crore after an intense bidding war with Punjab Kings.
Kuldeep Yadav, who was struggling with his form off-lately, was down on confidence however Rishabh Pant-led Delhi Capitals showed faith in him by picking him in their first game of IPL 2022, and the 27-year-old delivered big time against the Rohit Sharma-led Mumbai Indians.
During his four-over spell, Kuldeep dismissed Rohit Sharma and Kieron Pollard and returned back with 3 wickets under his name for just 18 runs.
Impressed with his performance, legendary batter Virender Sehwag took to Twitter and hailed the brilliance of Kuldeep Yadav in the game. He also praised Umesh Yadav, who displayed exemplary performance in the season opener yesterday. He wrote:
“Abhi tak toh yeh Yadavon ki IPL rahi hai.
Very happy for two hardworking guys, Umesh yesterday and Kuldeep today #DCvMI”
