Kuldeep Yadav's four-wicket haul in three overs giving away only 14 runs helped Delhi Capitals restrict Kolkata Knight Riders to 146/9 in 20 overs here at the Wankhede Stadium on Thursday.

The wily left-arm Chinaman bowler after being dropped from India's limited-overs side believes that after facing the axe he has gone mentally stronger. His superlative performance helped him earn the 'Player of the Match' award."I might have become a better bowler, but I am mentally stronger than before. When you fail in life you pick what you can improve on and that is something I had to improve on. I don't get scared of failing now, " said Kuldeep Yadav in the post-match presentation ceremony.
