"Did you see the first wicket (David Warner)? That wasn't a chinaman. It was a flipper which I learnt from Shane Warne. So, learning from Warne and then dismissing one of his [Australia's] players is great. My idol was Warne and I have followed him since childhood. I still watch his videos and it was a dream come true when I met him. I couldn't believe I was speaking to my idol and sharing my thoughts on bowling and what all I should be doing," a beaming Kuldeep said, adding that followed Warne's exact instructions ahead of the match, and was promised to have another session with him in the near future.
David Warner, Peter Handscomb, Glenn Maxwell and Pat Cummins fell to Kuldeep on Day one of the fourth Test, and the spinner is now basking in the accolades being showered upon him by players and fans alike.
