Watch: Kuldeep Yadav cries after Virat Kohli and Moeen Ali hit him out of the park
Indian leg-spinner Kuldeep Yadav broke down as he was hit all around the park by Virat Kohli and Moeen Ali. Kuldeep Yadav was hit for 27 runs in an over but he managed to get better of him as he dismissed Moeen in the last ball of the over.
The incident took place in the 16th over, Moeen was at strike and started hitting from the very first ball. Moeen hit Kuldeep for 4, 6, 4, 6, WD, 6, W. Moeen was dismissed for 28-ball 66. After the over ended, in the strategic time-out, Kuldeep Yadav broke down as tears rolled down his cheeks. His team-mates came to console him but Kuldeep was completely exhausted after a bad season and bad match.
Kuldeep Yadav was recently inducted into the World Cup squad as BCCI announced the 15-member team on Monday. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) came in with a couple of surprises when they selected Vijay Shankar over Ambati Rayudu and Dinesh Karthik over Rishabh Pant.
As far as the match is concerned, Virat Kohli and company beat Kolkata Knight Riders by 10 runs. Royal Challengers Bangalore batting first scored 213-4 in 20 overs. Kolkata Knight Riders tried very hard chasing the target by felt 10 runs short. Robin Uthappa should be blamed for that as he consumed 20 balls to score just 9 runs.
Royal Challengers Bangalore is still sitting at the bottom of the table but Kolkata Knight Riders moved down to sixth place because of their net run rate.
