In the ongoing Test match between India and Bangladesh, star chinaman bowler Kuldeep Yadav bagged a terrific five wickets in the first innings. His brilliant fifer helped the Indian team put the Bangla tigers on Backfoot. Kuldeep spoke to the media t the end of Day 3 on Friday.
A reporter asked if Bangladesh can win this Test match. In reply to that Kuldeep answered, "I personally don't want that!"
"It's cricket. If someone gets a 300, then probably! We will try to bowl them out as early as possible. That's our main goal for tomorrow," he added.
In reply to India's first innings total of 404, Bangladesh were restricted to just 150 runs.
"I believe the pitch is perfect to bat on. It was really good to bat on even against spinners. Yes, some balls are keeping low and the odd ball turning. Me and Ash bhai (R Ashwin) were initially looking at first innings score of 360 but as time passed, batting became easier so we looked at a 400-run total," stated the spinner.
The Indian team will be looking to bowl out Bangladesh in the first two sessions on Day 4. However, Bangladesh are batting at 119/0 at lunch on Day 4.
