Kuldeep Yadav will be Cloud Nine after his performance against Kolkata Knight Riders on Thursday. It is for the second time in this IPL that the left-arm wrist spinner has claimed four wickets against his former team.

Kuldeep, who had figures of 4-35 against the same opponents in their April 10 fixture at Brabourne Stadium, registered his best IPL figures of 4-14 in three overs on Thursday as Delhi Capitals restricted KKR to 146-9 in 20 overs at the Wankhede Stadium. It has been a fine revival for Kuldeep, who has now taken 17 wickets in eight games in IPL-15. This, after not getting to play a single game in the India leg of the last IPL. He was subsequently ruled out of the second leg due to injury.
