Kuldeep Yadav's unplayable delivery to rattle Alex Carey's stumps in the ODI series decider between India and Australia at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium on Wednesday left everyone bewildered. Kuldeep, who picked 3/56 as India bowled out Australia for 269, stated that he knew the wicket was slow and he was trying to spin the ball more. This was the fifth time Kuldeep dismissed Carey in ODIs. He had previously outfoxed David Warner and Marnus Labuschagne to pick their scalps in Australia's innings at Chennai.

Kuldeep's skillful bowling is something that is always admired by cricket fans, and when he is in form, he can produce gems that become unforgettable memories. This was one of those moments when he showed his exceptional talent and gave India an edge in the series decider.

In a mid-innings chat with broadcasters, Kuldeep said that he had been working on his bowling and trying to bowl within the wickets. He added that if he can spin the ball from there, there is a lot of chance to get caught behind, and there is a chance to get a top-edge on slog. He was getting good drift and was bowling a lot of seam-up deliveries.

Kuldeep also backed the Indian batting line-up to chase down 270 on a slow pitch where shot making hasn't been an easy task. He said that the way Hardik bowled, he got three wickets and got India back in the game. But it's a slow track, so India has to bat carefully.

Overall, Kuldeep's excellent bowling helped India to restrict Australia to 269, and his unplayable delivery to Alex Carey will be remembered as one of the highlights of the series.
