New Delhi [India], October 12 (ANI): Indian spinner Kuldeep Yadav scripted history with a brilliant five-wicket haul on Day 3 of the second Test match against West Indies at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi.

Yadav has become the fastest left-arm wrist spinner to claim 5 five-wicket hauls in Test cricket, achieving this feat in just 15 Tests and equalling Johnny Wardle's record of 5 five-wicket hauls, although Wardle took 28 Tests to reach the milestone.

Yadav led a clinical bowling performance to pick 5-82, his fifth five-wicket haul in the format, as India bowled out the West Indies for 248 in 81.5 overs in the first innings on Day 3.

Yadav is the second-highest wicket-taker in the ongoing West Indies series, with nine scalps to his name, averaging 20.33 with a five-wicket haul to his credit.

Yadav's Test career includes 15 matches, with 65 wickets at an average of 21.09 and an economy rate of 3.55.

Coming to the match, John Campbell and Shai Hope, with their half-centuries, staged a commendable fightback for the West Indies as they trailed by 97 runs after being forced into a follow-on by India during the second Test at Delhi's Arun Jaitley Stadium on Sunday.
