The leg-spinner was confident of an LBW, but the umpire refused to raise his finger.Kuldeep Yadav turned animated and looked for Shubman Gill across the field to opt for a review. Shubman Gill also involved KL Rahul in the discussion, and the DC opener was not interested in taking a DRS.It was a long discussion, but Shubman Gill showed faith in his bowler and went in for a DRS as India had two left in the bank.

It is worth noting that the 31-year-old has earned a bad reputation for wasting reviews. Earlier this year, Rohit Sharma too pointed out Kuldeep’s habit of appealing and forcing the captain to take a review.“My one simple advice to Kuldeep is to just bowl quietly and go back to his mark. You can’t appeal on every ball. This is basic. I keep saying it, but it still happens often. Even after telling him many times, he appeals at every chance. You have to use your head. Where did the ball hit? Just because it touches the pad, it doesn’t mean it’s out every time,” remarked Rohit Sharma in January 2026.Also Read: Shai Hope Breaks Vivian Richards' Record For West Indies vs India In 1st ODI 2026Kuldeep Yadav Misses Opportunity For 3rd ODI Hat-TrickOn the very next delivery, Kuldeep Yadav got Jewel Andrew out.
