Let’s take a look at how Twitter reacted to Kuldeep’s performance in the second Test against the West Indies.
"In terms of variations and the art of bowling leg spin, Kuldeep Yadav is the closest I’ve seen to Shane Warne. Of course, Warne used to generate far more turn, but when it comes to pure skill and improvisation, Kuldeep is the only one who comes close to him." - @breathelfc
"Agree or cry, but the real all-format bowler who deserves to play all formats is Kuldeep Yadav. He is a complete match-winner in all formats." - @GoutamDash01
"That's the thing, Kuldeep's batting should not make or break his selection for the team. Gambhir's all-rounder obsession, which is futile btw, will ensure that India never sees the best of Kuldeep. Whenever I remember this injustice vs him, I get so pissed that I forget objectivity" - @Cric_Beyond_Ent
"Kuldeep Yadav is putting on a masterclass of spin bowling! Three wickets in just an hour, pure destruction mode. The flight, the drift, the sharp turn, everything’s working like clockwork. The West Indies are completely clueless against this magician. Kuldeep isn’t bowling spells, he’s casting them." - @ImTanujSingh
"bruh if the ball spins like that for sure wi got no shot tbh kuldeep out here doing full magician stuff" - @Modianuup
"He's a good player. But the amount of priority he's given is what irks people. After Gill and Kuldeep, he's currently the only 'All Format' player. And the likes of Arshdeep actually got sidelined in the CT by him. It's nothing against him as a player, but the priority he's given" - @Skanda1153
Till lunch, the visitors were 217/8 after 72 overs. They are trailing by 301 runs and need 102 runs more so that they can stop the follow-on. And they will try their best to take the game as deep as possible.
