India vs South Africa: Yuzvendra Chahal mocks Kedar Jadhav’s unusual bowling style

India won the first ODI against South Africa in Durban courtesy of some brilliant batting by skipper Virat Kohli and a clinical performance by the bowling unit. Particularly impressive were the spinners who put a stranglehold on the South African run rate as the Proteas batsmen struggled to get runs on a sluggish pitch.

While the duo of Yuzvendra Chahal and Kuldeep Yadav did most of the damage, part-time spinner Kedar Jadhav played the role of a fifth bowler with aplomb giving away just 19 runs in three overs. Jadhav, who is known for his unusual low-arm bowling action, celebrating the win by tweeting out his image where he wrote, “Rolled my arm over in our win against South Africa yesterday! I love bowling in the middle overs,” Jadhav wrote to his almost 64,000 followers. Fellow teammate Chahal was quick to take a dig at Jadhav and wrote Rolled your arm under not over Kedar bhaiyaaaa let’s keep this momentum going.”
