When batsmen scored runs, it became easier to bowl - Kuldeep Yadav

India started their overseas season with a thumping 76-run win over Ireland on Wednesday, June 27. Led by Rohit Sharma's 97 off 61 balls and Shikhar Dhawan's 74 off 45 balls India posted a mammoth total of 208 on the board before Kuldeep Yadav (4/21) and Yuzvendra Chahal (3/38) restricted Ireland to 132 for 8 in 20 overs.## The 23-year old Chinaman Kuldeep Yadav was particularly very impressive. He used his variations very well which becomes very hard for a batsman to pick. He said in the post-match press conference that India was pleased with their performance and also it was a good match for him personally.## "It was a good start. batsmen scored the runs, So it became easier to bowl, as there was a target of over 200 to defend. Individually, it was a good game for me as the ball was coming out like I wanted to, variations were also coming out well. So it was a good start.## "Conditions were normal. The wicket was a touch slow and the ball also was turning. So I was feeling normal, it didn't feel any different," he said.## Kuldeep Yadav is one of those bowlers who always thinks for wickets. It shows in his bowling as he bowls attacking line and length all the time. His thinking process makes him different bowler from others.## "It depends on the style of bowling, my style is different. I always look for wickets and give breakthroughs to my team. That is my style. But each bowler has his own style of bowling. I always look for wickets," he said.## Apart from his team's success, Kuldeep believes that Ireland will get better from here. He feels that it become tough for them to play wrist spinners as they are not used to play such kind of bowling.## "They played our fast bowlers pretty well but struggled against spinners," he observed. "They did use their feet but did not show much footwork. We vary the pace, bowl slow, and (I can understand) they possibly are not used to such kind of bowling, but the more they play they will get better."## India's spin twin Kuldeep and Chahal both bowled really well in 1st T20 which is a positive sign for the Indian side before taking on inform England.## Tha second match of the T20I series between Ireland and India will be played on Friday, June 29 at The Village, Dublin.## For more updates and news, stay tuned to us.## Thanks for the reading.
