Duleep Trophy | Kuldeep Yadav’s six-for helps India Red defeat India Green

Needing just three wickets to wrap up the match, India Red skipper Yuvraj Singh started the day with Kuldeep Yadav and Nathu Singh in a bid to quickly finish the match. With an improbable target of 497 in front of him, India Green skipper Suresh Raina went after the bowlers and smashed Kuldeep for three boundaries in the 49th over. Raina also brought up his fifty and looked in good groove in the middle, but just like the first innings, Nathu Singh removed Dinda to open one end. Dinda went after a short ball from Nathu Singh and lobbed it to mid-on to give Ishwar Pandey an easy catch.

But, Raina continued his aggressive knock and looked on course for a century, but Kuldeep Yadav struck to remove the skipper for 90. Raina tried to hit Kuldeep out of the ground only to give Nathu Singh an easy catch at mid-off. Akshay Wakhare finished off the match two balls later by removing Pragyan Ojha to give India Red a 219-run victory.
