Kuldeep claimed 4-41 and, along with Prasidh Krishna (4-65), helped bundle out South Africa for 270 despite a super century by Quinton de Kock, who hammered a 89-ball 106 and a 67-ball 48 by skipper Temba Bavuma.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"Fought hard for this one,\" said Kuldeep Yadav in a story on his Instagram handle.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Earlier, Kuldeep said he enjoyed bowling with a dry ball after KL Rahul won the toss and chose to bowl first, thus avoiding the dew that had affected their bowling in the first two matches of the three-match series.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"We started well, Arshdeep and Harshit, they kept tight lines in seven-eight overs. When spinners came, it was a bit gripping. Tried to mix the pace. Bowling with a dry ball is a luxury after the first two games. We lost 20 successive tosses; finally, we won it (toss). Very happy,\" said Yadav after helping India bowl out South Africa.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Yadav had a near-animated discussion with skipper K.L. Rahul and Rohit Sharma as he pleaded with them to use DRS in the last couple of overs of his 10-over spell.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Yadav admitted that he is not that good with the DRS, and Rohit keeps pulling his leg for that.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

He said having seniors like Rahul and Rohit to guide him is a big help. \"You need seniors like that to guide you. I feel wicket is good to bat on. Because of the 34-over ball-change rule, if the ball is dry, it was holding on the pitch. It wasn't easy to score if there is turn. I tried variations too - legspin, googly, flipper,\" said Kuldeep Yadav.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
