Kuldeep Yadav Brands Guwahati Wicket As ‘A Whole Road’ After South Africa’s Batting Onslaught On Day Two

Team India cricketer Kuldeep Yadav delivered a bombshell take over the Guwahati wicket and labelled it as a road. The wrist spinner admitted that it is a challenge to compete on such surfaces, but he did not complain about the conditions at hand.

South Africa delivered a performance with the bat and troubled India in the first two days of action. The conditions did not work in the bowlers' favour, as the Proteas Men pulled off a dominant rally in the competition.

Kuldeep Yadav Makes A Bombshell Claim On The Guwahati Pitch After Day Two Action 

The Proteas Men were like a blazing inferno on the flat tracks of Guwahati as they put up a solid total in the first innings of action. The Indian bowlers looked helpless while bowling, and while some of them picked up key wickets, they struggled to derail the opposition batters' partnerships, especially in the lower order.

Following the day two action, Kuldeep Yadav admitted that the Kolkata tracks were different, but the wicket in Guwahati was like a road and gave zero assistance.

"Kolkata ka wicket toh alag thaa. Yeh to pura road tha [Kolkata's wicket was different. This was a whole road]. So it's challenging, and that's why it's called a Test wicket," Kuldeep Yadav said at the post-day press conference.
