1st Test: Restrict Them Early When You Lose One Batter, Says Kuldeep Yadav On India's Strategy For Day 3
South Africa finished Day 2 at 63-7 in their second batting innings as Indian spinners dominated the proceedings with the ball. While the Proteas started well on Day 3, the reigning WTC champions were dished out for 153-10 in 54 overs as the hosts set themselves a 124-run target to chase in the final innings.
Speaking about how the surface has acted so far and the changes he had to make to his bowling, given that the wicket was more challenging to bowl on, Kuldeep, in a video shared on bcci.tv ahead of Day 3, said, "Obviously, for any wrist spinner, bowling on a slow track is always challenging. Obviously, you have to go a little bit fuller, especially on these types of wickets, because the South African batters always prefer playing back foot. The pace is very important, and I thought I mixed the pace very well.”
