<p>Dubai: Indian spinner Kuldeep Yadav feels he has found his rhythm following a comeback from injury and expects to get better with every game he plays in the ongoing Champions Trophy.</p><p>Kuldeep struck thrice in the death overs against Pakistan on Sunday and was also on a hat-trick.</p><p>The 30-year-old had undergone a surgery for sports hernia last year, keeping him away from the game for more than three months. "Injuries take six months to recover. I played two matches against England. I had a good rhythm. I had a good rhythm even against Bangladesh.</p>.All records Virat Kohli broke during India vs Pakistan Champions Trophy match.<p>"But obviously, you always look for wickets (he went wicketless against Bangladesh). But today, when I bowled my first over, I felt that I am in a better rhythm. I am in a comfortable position.</p><p>"Even now, I feel that I can bowl better. I have played 3-4 matches. I will get better as I play more," Kuldeep told newspersons in the Mixed Zone after six-wicket win over the arch-rivals.</p><p>Kuldeep's three victims included Salman Agha, Shaheen Afridi and Naseem Shah.</p>.<p>Talking about his specific plans, he said; "In the first spell, I hit a lot of Chinaman. And the wrong one is a variation of mine. I also hit a topspin with the wrong one.</p><p>"The first wicket of Salman was a normal Chinaman. It was slow, but I varied the pace. Obviously, the second wicket was a first-ball swing. I was targeting the wicket. I thought it was a better option to hit the wrong one.</p><p>"So, I have to think about which delivery I can hit. And the incoming deliveries are difficult if it's a slow track. So, that was my plan." However, Kuldeep feels he can get better on the accuracy front.</p><p>"To be very honest, in terms of accuracy, I feel that if I play more games, I will be much better. Obviously, when you play a lot of games, you tend to mix your pace." He also relishes the challenge of bowling in the death overs.</p>.I hope now, no one asks whether Virat is in form: Rajkumar Sharma.<p>"I was able to become the first choice in bowling the last 10 overs. Even the captain felt that it's very difficult to hit spinners when you have variations. Luckily, it was good for me. The wicket was slow. I was trying to mix with the pace and wrong ones or topspin.</p><p>"If you get one or two wickets in the middle, the batsmen tend to block you. That's what they did in the last 10 overs. Playing Pakistan, there is a lot of pressure from the fans. There are a lot of expectations. I enjoy it," said Kuldeep.</p><p>The wily operated credited the NCA for his speedy recovery from hernia.</p><p>"I give a lot of credit to the NCA. I worked with Rajni. Dhananjay, who is our physio, was under Nitin Patel. I didn't take a day off. I took two days off. He called me back. I was very focused. I knew that if I delayed even a little, I would miss the Champions Trophy. I didn't expect to recover in time, but the staff was working very hard," Kuldeep added.</p>
