Kuldeep Yadav odds

The glorious history of India is filled with many great spinners, but there are not too many like Kuldeep Yadav.

Yadav made history when he became the first chinaman bowler to play international cricket for India and has not looked back since, becoming a weapon in all three formats.

Incredibly Yadav’s story started with him being a pace bowler in Uttar Pradesh, but after a chance suggestion from his coach, who saw spinning potential in his talented player, Yadav was trained in that art of spin and found a different way to fulfil his cricketing dreams.

About Kuldeep Yadav

Yadav was signed by Kolkata Knight Riders in the 2014 Indian Premier League auction and also bowled brilliantly for India in the 2014 U-19 Cricket World Cup played in UAE. Yadav was the biggest success story of the competition for India, despite the side failing to qualify for the semifinals. He led his country with 14 wickets from six games at an average of 16.42. The left-arm Chinaman also took a hat-trick against Scotland in the round-robin stage of the competition.

After honing his craft in domestic cricket, Yada was included in India’s Test squad for one-off game against Bangladesh in 2017. He made an impressive start in Test cricket by taking four wickets against Australia on his debut at Dharamshala Cricket Stadium. He was selected in India’s ODI squad for the five-match series in the Caribbean in June 2017. He finished with eight wickets from five matches at an average of 19.7.

The left-arm chinaman has been impressive in the shortest formats of the game for India. He has taken 12 wickets from eight games at an impressive economy rate of just 7.6 runs an over. Yadav’s wide range of variations has added more potency to the Indian one-day bowling unit and he has turned into wicket-taking option for the side in the middle overs.

Kuldeep became the third bowler for India after Kapil Dev and Chetan Sharma to take a hat-trick in one-day cricket. The left-arm chinaman achieved this feat against Australia in a game played at Eden Gardens, Kolkata on 21st September, 2017. He also made a big impact in India’s maiden limited-overs series in South Africa. He finished with 17 wickets from six games at an economy rate of 4.62.
