In a pretty one-sided encounter, Indian cricket team unveiled an exceptional spin-bowling combination, featuring Ravindra Jadeja and Kuldeep Yadav. The dynamic duo left a mark on the first ODI against West Indies, claiming a total of 7 wickets, ultimately leading India to a triumphant 5-wicket win.

The hosts were left stunned as they were bundled out for a mere 114 runs, and another feather was added to India’s records and achievements cap. After the game, Kuldeep and Jadeja engaged in a light-hearted chat, and amidst the camaraderie, some amusing comments were exchanged, with Jadeja playfully teasing Kuldeep about his hairstyle. However, Kuldeep responded with a delightful comeback of his own.

Notably, Ravindra Jadeja and Kuldeep Yadav got indulged in a candid conversation with each other, following the conclusion of the first ODI. In a reciprocating tone, Kuldeep credited Jadeja for being his source of inspiration and learning. Furthermore, he came up with a cheeky reply when Jadeja tried to tease him for his new hairstyle by adding that the latter was his favourite even when it comes to donning a new hairstyle apart from the game.

“Kuldeep has brought a cool hairstyle with him from India in this warm weather in Barbados. Only long hair can protect you in this heat, if you keep short hair here, your head will burn down,” Jadeja teasingly said to the chinaman bowler.

“I am following Ravindra Jadeja in everything he does, he is my favourite,” Kuldeep replied in the video posted by the BCCI on their Twitter handle.

 I think we bowled just like a pair should, we bowled like a good bowling unit: Kuldeep

Besides their light-hearted banter, the duo delved into cricketing matters. Kuldeep acknowledged the exceptional performance of the team’s pace battery, praising their early spell, which set the stage for the spinners to shine. Additionally, the spinner also lauded the fast bowlers for the way they gave a good start to the team, especially naming the debutant Mukesh Kumar.

“The fast bowlers gave us a good start today, Mukesh [Kumar] bowled really well on his debut. [To Jadeja] When you came into the attack, you kept taking wickets in a heap and then I came in and took the rest. I think we bowled just like a pair should, we bowled like a good bowling unit,” the Chinaman concluded.

The camaraderie and synergy between Ravindra Jadeja and Kuldeep Yadav proved instrumental in India’s spectacular victory. Their spin-bowling prowess, coupled with a cohesive team performance, showcased India’s dominance on the cricketing stage.
