The Test series between India and England is continuing to go India's way as Rohit & Co. have already bowled out England for just 218 runs on Day 1. Kuldeep Yadav turned out to be a hero for the Indian team, picking up a fifer and dismissing the likes of Zak Crawley and Ben Stokes.

The Indian team started their innings with the bat in a thumping way and are already 135 for the loss of one wicket at the end of Day 1. Yashasvi Jaiswal hammered a quick fifty off just 56 deliveries. However, captain Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill are unbeaten on 52 and 26 respectively. 

A couple of years back, the Indian wrist-spinner, Kuldeep Yadav wasn't even in the Indian team due to poor form and injuries and now he has made an impressive comeback with his expertise. He made his Test debut in Dharamshala in 2017 and has featured in just 12 Tests so far.

After seven years of his debut and on the same ground of Dharamshala, Kuldeep has not only picked up a fifer but also completed 50 Test wickets. Talking to the presenters after the day's play, Kuldeep Yadav opened up on how he has worked on himself in the last few years. 

Kuldeep also talked about his favourite wicket and also revealed what goes through his mind while he is into his spell during the game. Later he talked about the difference between his mindset during his initial days and now.

Here's what the Kuldeep said:

"When I was very young I used to overthink how to get the batter out. Slowly, slowly I matured as a spinner and focused on length. Pope stepped out a bit early. Jurel and Sarfaraz were saying the same thing he is going to step out, he is not comfortable. Ash bhai says a few things on the field, gives a few ideas. I don't think too much about what they are doing."

The Indian team are well ahead in the game now and will look to put up a huge first innings total to wrap up the game with an innings, which would be a perfect send-off to the visitors.
