2nd Test: Kolkata’s Wicket Was Different, This Is Road, Says Kuldeep Yadav
Barsapara Cricket Stadium: Kuldeep Yadav who finished with a figure of 4/115 in first innings described ACA Stadium pitch as “proper road” after Indian bowlers' struggle continued on Day 2 of the second Test.
South Africa posted a formidable 489 in their first innings, thanks to Senuran Muthusamy’s 109 – his maiden Test century and Marco Jansen’s explosive 93. The duo’s career best scores in Tests took them to a commanding total and put them in a good position to draw the game.
“Kolkata’s wicket was different, this is a road,” said Kuldeep Yadav, who returned 4/115, at the press conference here on Sunday. “It’s challenging and that’s why it’s called a Test wicket. It doesn’t happen every day as a bowler. You always think of dominating, but when you get a good wicket then it’s also very important how you come back. The way we bowled yesterday, we were in very good control but obviously, in one session there was a partnership so we got a little behind in the game.
