India’s batting great Sachin Tendulkar lauded the performance of India’s spin duo of chinaman spinner Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal after they starred with the ball in Men-in-Blue’s record win over New Zealand in the second ODI played at the Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui.
With the win in the second ODI, Team India have taken a lead of 2-0 in the ongoing five-match ODI series. The third match of the series will be played at Bay Oval, Mount Maunganui on Monday, January 28.
After the match, Tendulkar heaped praises on Kuldeep (4/45) and Chahal (2/52) and said that most teams will find it difficult to score against them. Both Kuldeep and Chahal scalped 6 wickets between them. The duo has also picked the same number of wickets in the first ODI as well.

“India have been convincing yet again today to go 2 up in the series. The opening partnership was the key & bowlers did the rest. Most sides will have to find a way to score runs against @yuzi_chahal & @imkuldeep18 & not lose too many wickets in the middle overs. #NZvIND,” Tendulkar wrote on his official Twitter handle.
