5 most exciting upcoming bowlers in world cricket

#2 Kuldeep Yadav

Kuldeep Yadav is the most exciting chinaman bowler in the world today

The rarest breed in international cricket, 'chinaman' or left arm unorthodox spin bowlers are always delightful to watch whenever they appear on the global stage. Surprisingly, India, the hub of spin bowling in the world, is yet to produce a truly great chinaman bowler.

But the search may have come to an end in the form of Kuldeep Yadav. He grabbed the attention of fans and experts first through IPL but it was only last year that he emerged as the most promising left-arm unorthodox tweaker in the world. What makes him special is the control he has over his line and length, something that is essential for any wrist spinner to succeed. Add to that the many tricks and variations in his bowling and you have the complete package of a modern-day spinner.

It is in one-day cricket that his rise has been most impressive. Forming a formidable pair with right-arm leggie Yuzvendra Chahal, Kuldeep has been unstoppable at home and recently proved equally deadly in South Africa.

Kuldeep may have some work to do in his bowling to become a regular at Test level but early signs suggest that India may have finally found a great chinaman bowler too.
