Kuldeep’s Peach Spun A Whopping 7.2 Degrees

Kuldeep Yadav, who made it into this World Cup after an underwhelming few years, is doing magic with the ball and knocking down wickets. In the match against England, he surprised everyone with a stunning delivery. Kuldeep gave 24 runs and took 2 wickets in this match. But on the first ball of the 16th over bowled by Kuldeep Yadav, England captain Jos Buttler was clean bowled, without a clue. This ball turned in an unexpected way. Jos Buttler failed to predict the trajectory of this ball which pitched way outside off stump. The ball took an unexpected turn after pitching and hit the middle stump to everyone’s amusement. Buttler looked stunned as the ball turned a whopping 7.2 degrees. While this number was later disclosed on commentary, the average turn in the entire match stood only at 3.9 degrees. From this huge delta between 3.9 and 7.2, you can understand the amount of shock and awe this ball must have produced for live viewers. India’s victory was assured as Buttler got out at a crucial juncture. Currently, a short video featuring this ball is going viral on social media.
