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.”
Rolled my arm over in our win against South Africa yesterday! I love bowling in the middle overs. Great spells from @yuzi_chahal & @imkuldeep18! And excellent knocks from @imVkohli and @ajinkyarahane88 to go 1-0 up.. Good start to the series! #SAvIND #TeamIndia #BleedBlue pic.twitter.com/SOoynLswXC — IamKedar (@JadhavKedar) 2 February 2018
