Kuldeep Yadav, who took a four wicket haul in first T20 against Ireland feels that he has adapted well do the conditions. The Unnao born chinaman spinner said that India registered an easy 76 run win over the Irish team due to their lack of ability to play spin.

“The score was good so it was easier as we had a target to bowl at and defend. A spinner always tries to bowl according to the target. From an individual point of view, it was quite good because I was bowling the way I wanted to bowl and I used the variations well too.

“They batted well against pace and got a good start too. But they struggled against our spinners because they weren’t using their feet too much. Also, we vary our pace and bowl slower at times, and perhaps they are not used to this type of bowling. But the more they play (against top sides), they will get better, said Yadav.

Yadav feels that the conditions in UK are normal with the approaching second part of summers.

“Conditions here seem to be normal. I haven’t seen too much difference (from other overseas tours). Perhaps wickets are a bit slower and the ball is turning. I felt normal and didn’t feel that it has been something new.

“The weather is a bit colder and conditions are different from India. But it was easy to adjust and for me it is a normal thing. After one game you cannot say how wickets will be throughout the tour. This one had a little turn and the ball was turning, but as we play more matches on this tour, maybe the wickets in England will be different,” said Yadav, who was adjudged man of the match yesterday for his impressive figures of 4-21.

Yadav said that he emphasis on taking wickets irrespective of any condition.

“Every bowler has a different style so they may bowl differently as per the situation. However, I always think of picking wickets because if I try to control runs, I will give away more runs. So it is important for me to take wickets and get breakthroughs for my team because I am that type of attacking bowler. My style is different,” he said.
