Kuldeep Yadav now holds the lowest strike rate by an Indian batter in a home Test innings after scoring 19 off 134 balls.
His strike rate of 14.17 is the slowest ever by an Indian at home (minimum 100 balls), making it a rare statistical low.
Rahul Dravid scored 21 off 140 balls and Sachin Tendulkar made 22 off 126, but Kuldeep went even slower, placing himself above both in this rare batting list.
Kuldeep created this record in the home Test vs South Africa, where he stayed at the crease for a long time during a tough batting phase.
Kuldeep, known mainly for his bowling, ended up setting one of the slowest batting strike-rate numbers in Indian Test history.
Kuldeep’s slow knock may be unusual, but it placed him in a unique batting list that even legends like Sachin and Dravid feature in.
