Hat-trick man Kuldeep Yadav yesterday described his memorable feat against Australia in the second ODI here as a "special" effort and said he had never dreamt of achieving it. "This is special for me, it changed the game for us. It was a really proud moment," he added. He said initially he was struggling to bowl in a particular area. "Initially, I was struggling to bowl in a particular area. It's a game of cricket, everything happens. Last match, where I was hit for three sixes in an over, it was a learning experience. I asked Mahi bhai (MS Dhoni) what I should bowl, he said, 'tujhe jaisa lagta hai wo daal (you bowl what you feel like)'," said the 22-year-old Uttar Pradesh player.
Praising his bowlers, Kohli said: "Bhuvi's spell became even more important because we knew the wrist-spinners would do damage in the middle. The deliveries he got the batsmen out with were unplayable."
