Kuldeep Yadav- one of the fewest chinamen bowlers in the world today, recently became the second fastest Indian to take fifty wickets in ODI cricket after Ajit Agarkar. He completed the mark in 23 matches, which is quickest by an Indian spinner.

Unknown before 2017, Kuldeep soon after making his debut turned out to be India's wicket-taking option in ODIs as the 23-year-old averages 20 and bowls under the economy of 4.69. In T20Is as well, he has taken 24 wickets in 12 matches at an excellent average of 13.20.

Kuldeep also is only the third Indian bowler to have taken a hat-trick in ODI cricket after Chetan Sharma and Kapil Dev. He has plenty of variations in his bowling and happens to be pretty lethal on slight turning tracks.

He debuted under Virat Kohli and is a crucial part of team India these days.
