The young lad turned the tables on Australia by taking 4 wickets for 68. Australians were looking strong at 144/1 before the flippers and googlies from Kuldeep stumped the Aussies.
Kaif was not surprised at the outcome.
"You are never ready for a bowler like Kuldeep. You need to have a proper plan. I think Australia never expected him to play." Kaif was reported saying by TOI.
Kaif further went on to say that Kuldeep had all the match winning abilities and was a great pick for the decider between India and Australia. His attacking bowling and wicket taking ability
He commented on his chinaman action saying,"Give the ball to Kuldeep and wait and watch what happens. The difference between him and other similar spinners is that he is very accurate and will hardly give you loose balls. A batsman may come out and hit him over the top like Glen Maxwell did today, but he will be right back at you attacking the very next ball."
