Kuldeep Yadav is praised by fans for playing spin more confidently than Virat Kohli.

On Day 2 of the first Test in Chattogram on Thursday, Kuldeep Yadav significantly aided India in passing the 400-run threshold against Bangladesh with his 40 (114).

When Kuldeep joined Ravichandran Ashwin at the crease, the visitors were in trouble at 293/7. The pair then scored a crucial 87 runs for the eighth wicket. The pair played each delivery to its full potential and displayed excellent application.

Twitter users praised Kuldeep Yadav for helping Ravichandran Ashwin score important runs. They believe he applied himself better than most Indian batters as well.

Ashwin and Kuldeep Yadav give India a strong position.

Bangladesh would have hoped to end the Indian innings within 320 when Ebadot Hossain struck early on Day 2 to eliminate Shreyas Iyer. However, Kuldeep joined Ravichandran Ashwin at the crease and provided him with excellent support, so that was not to be.

The two spinners developed a reliable alliance, demonstrating why their batting is so highly regarded. Alongside Ashwin, Kuldeep made excellent use of his sweeps and reverse sweeps to score some crucial runs for India.

The left-hander, who was stuck in front at 40, would be heartbroken to lose out on making his first Test half-century. However, thanks to his greatest Test score, India’s tail once more wagged when necessary, and they are currently in a strong position in the Test.

Bangladesh will need to bat really well to prevent giving up a first-innings lead because they have already lost a wicket in the reply.
