With two Test tons in Bangladesh, David Warner has come to the ODI series in a rich vein of form. The southpaw would have been looking forward to this tour of India. Someone else is smacking his lips too. "I love bowling to him because I always have this feeling that I am going to get him out anytime," says Kuldeep Yadav, who has dismissed Warner four times in their six face-offs so far.

Kuldeep had Warner nick one in Chennai on Sunday to make it two out of two in internationals and peg back the Aussies early in their chase. He has a two out of four against the Aussie in IPL matches. "When you've dominated a particular player, you would always want to take his wicket early. I guess he feels a little pressure while facing me. There are more games to come and I hope to get him out few more times," added the chinaman bowler.
He realises the importance of dismissing Warner early. "He has that game-changing quality, as does someone like Smith. If they play for long, they can stretch the score." Kuldeep confided that he had never bowled in tandem with another wrist spinner in the junior ranks, and he is relishing his partnership with leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal. "It's always been with a left-arm spinner or off-spinner," he said.
