India’s wrist-spinner Kuldeep Yadav credited senior teammate Ravindra Jadeja for guidance after his eight-wicket haul against West Indies in the second Test in Delhi.

Kuldeep returned with figures of 5/82 and 3/104 to script India’s seven-wicket victory in the Delhi Test. He also claimed four scalps in the opening Test in Ahmedabad, and eventually finished the series as leading wicket-taker.

After India’s 2-0 series win, Kuldeep reflected on the challenges of bowling long spells on a slow Delhi pitch.

“This was a totally different wicket if you compare it to the first Test match. Bowling a lot of overs was the challenge here, we certainly did that, I enjoyed bowling here. The drift which I got in Ahmedabad, if you compare it to this Test, there wasn't any drift here. The wicket was too dry,” Kuldeep said while speaking at the post-match presentation ceremony.

“Playing two Test matches back to back is always fun. Bowling a lot of overs and getting the breakthrough in the middle is something I enjoy a lot. When you put a lot of revs on the ball and because of the arm speed you generate, if you have a lot of revs on the ball, you generally get the drift. You love to the get the batter bowled. I enjoyed a couple of wickets in the first Tests and here as well, it was good,” he added.

“It's lovely to have him (Jadeja) around. He's someone who has always guided me in tough situations and giving me some advice, it's really helping me,” he further stated.

India’s next assignment is the white-ball tour of Australia, featuring three ODIs and five T20Is, slated to get underway on October 19 in Perth.

“I am going to watch a few (football) games and we hardly have time. We got to fly tomorrow and we have a game on the 19th, so we have to prepare for that,” Kuldeep concluded.
