Kuldeep rediscovers rhythm, confidence with match-winning spell

Thiruvananthapuram, Sept 27 (UNI) Kuldeep Yadav believes rediscovering his bowling rhythm has helped him regain the confidence that had taken a hit during his periods in and out of the Indian side, with the left-arm wrist-spinner saying his four-wicket haul against West Indies was exactly the kind of performance he needed.
Kuldeep returned figures of 4-40 as India beat West Indies by eight wickets in the opening ODI here on Sunday, earning the Player of the Match award after helping restrict the visitors to 295.
"It always feels nice when you enjoy your bowling and that's where you achieve your best. When you are enjoying your bowling, when you are a bit relaxed as well, then your performance comes at peak," Kuldeep said after the match.
