Kuldeep Yadav would've been relieved that his best bowling performance in T20 should come on the heels of the worst punishment he has suffered. Taken to the cleaners by Mumbai' Ishan Kishan last week, the southpaw hitting him for five sixes in a belligerent innings that turned the match around for Mumbai at the Eden Gardens, Yadav made a stunning comeback on Tuesday with four Rajasthan wickets.
