#1 Kuldeep Yadav

Strength: Wicket-taker
If there is one player which KKR don't want to miss out on in the IPL auction, it is Kuldeep Yadav. He rose to stardom after his impressive bowling performance in the Under-19 World Cup in 2012. Kuldeep frequently troubled batsmen with his chinaman bowling and ended the tournament with 14 wickets. He joined KKR in 2012 but failed to grab a spot in the starting XI until the 2014 Champions League.
After debuting for KKR in IPL in 2016, he has featured for India in all the formats of the game. Kuldeep bowled exceedingly well in last year's IPL as well. He took 12 wickets at an average of 28.33.
The year 2017 has been wonderful for the UP bowler has he claimed a memorable hat-trick against Australia in an ODI series at home.
