He said &#39;tujhe jaisa bhi lagta hai, woh daal (bowl the way you want to)&#39;. I was very happy that he backed me,&quot; Yadav said after the match where he became only the third Indian to strike at hat-trick in ODIs.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nIn three successive deliveries, Kuldeep (3\/54) took the wickets of Mathew Wade, Ashton Agar and Pat Cummins in the 33rd over to emulate the feats of compatriots Chetan Sharma (1987) and Kapil Dev (1991).<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/cricket-special\/top-5-fastest-hundreds-in-t20-cricket--30049\">Top 5 Fastest Hundreds in T20 Cricket<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n<div style=\"page-break-after: always\"><span style=\"display: none;\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/div>\r\n\r\n<p>Kapil was the only ODI bowler to have got a hat-trick at the iconic Eden so far.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nKuldeep, who also thanked skipper Virat Kohli for supporting him, had earlier taken a hat-trick for India in the under-19 World Cup in 2014 opposite Scottland.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nBut he rated the one at the Eden Gardens as special as it helped fashion a 50-run win for India, who now lead 2-0 in the five game series.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n&quot;This is very special for me. That really changed the game for us. It was a proud moment.&quot;<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nKuldeep conceded that in he was struggling with the leather in the first five overs.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n&quot;The first five overs I was struggling to bowl in a particular area, but later on I got the spot, and the rest is history.&quot;<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nIt was also a story of contrast for Kuldeep who had been smacked for three consecutive sixes by Glenn Maxwell in the series opener at Chennai four days back.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n&quot;In game of cricket, everything happens. And in the last game, I got hit three sixes in an over,&quot; he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n<p>IANS<\/p>\r\n",
