Kuldeep, who had earlier dismissed Sean Solia, ended the match with figures of 4/51.
Notably, Kuldeep is the only Indian bowler to take two hat-tricks in international cricket, both in ODIs against Australia and West Indies, respectively.
“When you fail, you learn. When I came back to the Indian side in January. I was not afraid of failure, I wanted to enjoy the game. My focus is to keep hitting the good lengths. (Getting) wickets is not in my hands…just want to bowl in good areas,” Kuldeep told news agency PTI after the match.
“To be honest, when I got injured, coming back from there, understanding my rhythm was very important. I was a little bit slow. After surgery, I have changed that rhythm, bowling with more effort and more control.” Yadav had undergone a surgery after sustaining a knee injury during the IPL in September last year,” he added.
Talking about the match, New Zealand ‘A’ were all out for 219 in 47 overs after electing to bat first.
In reply, India ‘A’ chased down the target with four wickets and 16 overs to spare.
