India's left-arm spinner Kuldeep Yadav remained in sublime touch in red-ball cricket, claiming a stunning five-wicket haul on the second Test match against West Indies at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. His spell assisted India in sending the visitors packing for 248 runs in the 1st innings, enabling the hosts to force the follow-on and take control of the game. Kuldeep Yadav's Historic Feat With this five-for, Kuldeep Yadav made history by joining the record books as the first Indian left-arm wrist spinner and only second left-arm wrist spinner in Test cricket history to take five five-wicket hauls. He joins England's Johnny Wardle, who also has five five-fors in 28 Tests. Kuldeep achieved the milestone in only 15 matches, which speaks about his consistency and match-winning guile. Most five-fors by left-arm wrist spinners in Tests: 5 - Kuldeep Yadav (15 Tests) 5 - Johnny Wardle (28 Tests) 4 - Paul Adams (45 Tests) Kuldeep's spell turned the game completely in India's direction. Having been given some fight by West Indies through stands of Tagenarine Chanderpaul, Alick Athanaze, and Shai Hope, it was Kuldeep who shattered key partnerships and tore apart the middle order. He got rid of Hope, Imlach, and Greaves in rapid succession, so that West Indies could not consolidate their good start.

A dogged ninth-wicket partnership between Pierre and Phillip had carried the score along by 46 runs, but Jasprit Bumrah made it just after lunch to get rid of Pierre. The last-wicket combination gave a bit of fight, with Phillip defending resolutely and Seales driving hard, but Kuldeep finally wrapped up the innings with a cleverly disguised googly to get rid of Seales with his fifth wicket. Kuldeep's numbers now rank him among India's greatest spinners in Test cricket, particularly when there is some turn available. His variations, control, and knack of bamboozling batters have turned him into one of India's most important bowling weapons. Kuldeep Yadav vs West Indies Record Tests: 4 games, 19 wickets, SR 33.8 ODIs: 19 games, 33 wickets, SR 27.3 T20Is: 9 games, 17 wickets, SR 12.7 (Stats as of 1st Innings of WI in Delhi Test) With this recent performance, Kuldeep is cementing his place in history as one of India's greatest contemporary spinners. His heroics have placed India in command, and the public will now want to see if the hosts can finish the series off with another crushing victory.
