Team India’s young bowling sensation Kuldeep Yadav, who took Hat-Trick against Australia in second ODI, called his achievement ‘special’ and said Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s comments encouraged him before he delivered the delivery to achieve the milestone.
Kuldeep revealed the conversation he had with Dhoni after sending Matthew Wade and Ashton Agar back to the pavilion, before snaring Pat Cummins, his third victim.
“I asked Mahi bhai, what should I bowl. He said ‘tujhe jaisa bhi lagta hai, woh daal (bowl the way you want to)’. I was very happy that he backed me,” Yadav said.
“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” he added.
