Lucknow: Kuldeep Yadav rolled back the years on Monday in Lucknow, when he recreated the dismissal of Babar Azam in the 2019 World Cup, by removing South Africa batter Aiden Markram in exactly the same manner.

In the 16th over, Markram was yet to get off the mark and was struggling to break free from the web created by Kuldeep. On the last ball of the over, Kuldeep got the ball to drift across Markram and then spun back in sharply. Markram lunged forward to take a defensive option.

The match has been reduced to 40 overs per side due to rain, with each bowler to bowl a maximum of eight overs. The first power-play will be of first eight overs, followed by 24 overs of second power-play and last eight overs of third power-play.
