Kuldeep Yadav, India's most-improved ODI bowler in the past couple of years or so, gave the Men in Blue a much-required breakthrough on Wednesday (October 11) during their World Cup 2023 clash against Afghanistan at Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi. 

In the midst of Afghan's aggressive play for a fitting ending, the left-arm wrist spinner trapped Hashmatullah Shahidi leg-before, and shattered their hopes in the process.

It was a full delivery by Kuldeep toward the wickets, and Shahidi, batting on 80 off 88 balls, tried to play a reverse-sweep. However, the Afghanistan skipper failed to make any connection with the ball, as the ball went on to hit his pads.

As soon as the appeal came, on-field umpire had no hesitation to raise his finger.

Shahidi, however, challenged the decision and took a DRS. The move did not help him, as three reds came on the big screen to end his stay after a brilliant knock.

Afghanistan, opting to bat, did not fail to carry the momentum after a wonderful start. At the time of writing, the Afghan side have reached 238/7 in 45.5 overs, with Rashid Khan and Mujeeb Ur Rahman in middle.
