Kuldeep Yadav Turns Ranchi Into His Personal Comedy Club – South Africa 232-7 & Totally Confused!
Ranchi, 30 November 2025 – India 349-8. South Africa need 350. Simple, right? Wrong. Because Kuldeep Yadav decided today was open-mic night and the entire South African middle order became the punchline.
Current situation: South Africa 232-7 after 34.5 overs. Need 118 runs in 91 balls. Required rate 7.78 and climbing faster than Mumbai local fares. And the man responsible comedian? Kuldeep Yadav – 7-0-46-3, with a smile brighter than the Ranchi floodlights.
Kuldeep’s Spell of the Day – Pure Stand-Up Comedy
Let’s go wicket by wicket, because each dismissal deserves its own Netflix special:
Wicket 1 – Tony de Zorzi (39 off 35) – “The Classic Googly That Forgot to Turn”
14.6 overs. de Zorzi on 39, looking classy. Kuldeep tosses one up, looks like a juicy half-volley. Tony plants front foot – “easy peasy” – and gets hit plumb in front.
Umpire raises finger. Tony stands there like he just got ghosted on Tinder. Review wasted. Out LBW. Kuldeep does his trademark “I-d-d-d-d” celebration and giggles like a school kid who just pranked the teacher.
Kuldeep (reading chat): “Haan bhai, dono thi ”
Wicket 2 – Dewald Brevis (37 off 28) – “Baby AB Meets Uncle Kuldeep”
21.4 overs. Brevis trying to play the “I’m the next AB de Villiers” card – lofting, reverse-sweeping, looking dangerous. Kuldeep flights one wide outside off, Brevis goes for the big drive… edges straight to slip where Ruturaj Gaikwad takes a dolly.
Kuldeep’s reaction? Hands on head, mouth wide open – “Arre yaar, main toh bas daal raha tha!”
Wicket 3 – Marco Jansen (70 off 39) – “The One That Broke a Million Hearts”
33.1 overs. Jansen on fire – 70 off 39 with 8 fours & 3 sixes. Single-handedly keeping SA in the game with Breetzke. Partnership 97 off 69 balls. Dangerous.
Kuldeep runs in, tosses a juicy full toss at middle stump. Jansen thinks “free hit” and swings like Thor’s hammer… top-edge straight to Jadeja at deep mid-wicket.
Stadium erupts. Kuldeep does the “aeroplane” celebration, then immediately starts laughing because even HE knows that was a gift wrapped in a full toss.
Two balls later – Breetzke 72 off 80 holes out to long-on off Kuldeep. 228-7. Game over.
Kuldeep: “Bhai lottery hi thi, tu haar gaya ”
Kuldeep’s Face Journey – Screenshot These
- Before bowling: Cute little smile, looking like he’s about to sell you insurance
- After wicket: Hands on head, open mouth – “Main bhi nahi samjha kaise hua!”
- After full-toss wicket: Laughing so hard he almost falls over
- When Jansen got out: Running to Jadeja shouting “Bhai tu pakadta kaise hai itni badi catch?!”

Funny Moments Only Kuldeep Can Provide

Why Kuldeep is the Ultimate Mood
Bro doesn’t just take wickets – he takes the tension out of the game. While everyone else is intense, Kuldeep is out there giggling, celebrating like a kid who found ₹500 in old jeans, and somehow taking 3-fers.
Today he turned a tricky 350-chase into a comedy roast. South Africa went from “we can do this” to “bhai bas kar do” in 10 overs.
Final Prediction
South Africa need 118 in 91 balls with Corbin Bosch (3*) and Prenelan Subrayen (2*) at crease. Translation:
India winning by 90 runs. Kuldeep probably taking one more wicket just for laughs. Harshit Rana finishing with 4-fer on debut. And Ranchi dancing till midnight.
Kuldeep Yadav didn’t just bowl today – he hosted a full stand-up special titled “How to Confuse South Africa in 7 Overs”.
And the audience (11 Indian players + 30,000 fans) gave a standing ovation.
