Kuldeep Yadav Upset by Mukesh Kumar’s Stump: In a dramatic turn of events during the IPL 2024 clash between Delhi Capitals and Gujarat Titans, spinner Kuldeep Yadav found himself at the center of attention after expressing his dissatisfaction over a fielding incident involving teammate Mukesh Kumar. The incident, captured on stump mic, sparked controversy and debate among fans and analysts alike.
During the 8th over of the match, as Rahul Tewatia played a shot to point, non-striker Abhinav Manohar set off for a run, prompting Mukesh Kumar to attempt a direct hit at the stumps. However, Kuldeep Yadav, evidently concerned about the potential for overthrow, was visibly displeased with Mukesh’s decision. The exchange between the two players was picked up by the stump mic, adding fuel to the fire.
Despite the on-field drama, Mukesh Kumar emerged as the hero for the Capitals, delivering a stellar performance with the ball. He finished with impressive figures of 3 wickets for just 14 runs in 2.3 overs, dismantling the Gujarat Titans’ batting lineup. His crucial dismissals included Wriddhiman Saha, Rashid Khan, and Noor Ahmed, contributing significantly to the Capitals’ victory.
While Kuldeep Yadav struggled to make an impact with the ball, registering figures of 0 wickets for 16 runs in 4 overs, his frustration during the fielding incident did not overshadow the team’s overall performance. Led by skipper Rishabh Pant, who was awarded the Player of the Match for his crucial contributions with the bat and behind the stumps, Delhi Capitals comfortably chased down the target set by Gujarat Titans.
Even though Kuldeep and Mukesh had a small disagreement, Delhi Capitals still won convincingly, showing they’re a strong team in the IPL 2024. As the season goes on, fans can look forward to more exciting matches and memorable moments.
