IPL: Top 5 bowling performances for DC

3. Kuldeep Yadav’s 4/14 against Kolkata Knight Riders in 2022

Kuldeep Yadav became a member of DC in 2022 and in his debut season for the 2020 runners-up, he recorded his best bowling innings of IPL against his former team Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at the Wankhede Stadium. 

At the iconic venue, Delhi won the toss and decided to bowl first. After the early fall of openers Aaron Finch and Venkatesh Iyer, Kuldeep picked up the scalps of Baba Indrajith and Sunil Narine to trouble KKR. The leggie’s next victim was Kolkata skipper Shreyas Iyer, who was striving to build a solid partnership with Nitish Rana and help Knight Riders recover from the disastrous start. 

Kuldeep also fetched the prized wicket of Andre Russell, who failed to open his account in the game. In his three-over spell, the spin wizard took 4/14 and helped his team restrict Kolkata to a low total of 146. Eventually, DC won the game by four wickets and Kuldeep became the Player of the Match.
