Caught on camera! Kuldeep Yadav mocks Tabraiz Shamsi from dug out; video goes viral
Johannesburg: Kuldeep Yadav is in the form of his life currently. Having partnered with fellow wrist-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal during the recently-concluded ODI series against South Africa, Kuldeep picked up 17 wickets from six matches.
However, the 23-year-old youngster was not a part of India’s playing eleven which won the first T20 against South Africa here on Sunday, as he suffered an injury.
In the 19th over of the South African innings, the spinner was seen mocking a nervous Tabraiz Shamsi, who later came into bat at number 11.
The video of the incident went viral, and Twitteratti wasted no time in tweeting about the incident.
