'New mystery guy in the house'

Twitter reactions to Kuldeep Yadav's memorable first day in Test cricket, on which he took 4 for 68

In a series filled with surprises, India sprang another one in Dharmasala by handing a debut to left-arm wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav. His former state team-mate Mohammad Kaif had no doubt it was the right move.
After Australia raced to 131 for 1 at lunch, another expert Aakash Chopra placed his faith in Kuldeep.
Kuldeep responded in the second session with some ripping deliveries that earned him praise from some of the greats of the game. First he dismissed David Warner to end a rapid century stand with Smith, then he got one to drift away before spinning in to have Peter Handscomb bowled and followed that up with a perfect wrong 'un to send back Glenn Maxwell.
The uncommon sight of a left-arm wrist spinner showcasing control and an array of variations had many excited.
