David Warner was well set against India during their World Cup fixture which was played in the MA Chidambaram Stadium. It was a tough pitch to bat on, as the spinners found plenty of support off the surface. Fortunately for India, Kuldeep Yadav came in clutch for India by dismissing the 36-year-old. 

Kuldeep bowled a classic leg spinner delivery to dismiss the experienced opener. He pitched the ball on the full length and turning away. Warner went to play it past Kuldeep, but he managed to hit the ball with the toe of his bat. What was supposed to be an easy single for Warner turned into an easy catch for Kuldeep Yadav.
