India secured a vital breakthrough in their second T20I clash with the West Indies, thanks to a pivotal moment from spinner Kuldeep Yadav. The West Indies were chasing a formidable target of 249/5 set by India, and a partnership between Shai Hope and Sherfane Rutherford threatened to derail India's efforts.

Just as the West Indies began to gain momentum, Kuldeep Yadav intervened by breaking a significant 120-run stand. Rutherford, who was aggressively scoring, was sent back after a blistering 84 runs from just 37 deliveries, featuring seven fours and as many sixes. This dismissal was crucial in regaining control for the Men in Blue.

The wicket also brought Kuldeep Yadav closer to a personal milestone. With this scalp, he reached 98 T20I wickets from 56 matches. He is now just two wickets shy of joining an elite group of Indian bowlers with over 100 T20I dismissals, which includes Arshdeep Singh, Jasprit Bumrah, Hardik Pandya, and Axar Patel.
