Kuldeep Yadav participated in 2012 U-19 World Cup as a 17-year old. However, It was the 2014 edition of the U-19 World Cup that helped him showcase his talent to the cricketing world. Kuldeep took 14 wickets at an unbelievable average of 10.28 and also took a hat-trick against Scotland.

Following his impressive U-19 stint, he got selected in India's One Day squad for the West Indies series in 2014. Though he did not make his international debut, he kept impressing the cricketing fraternity through his IPL performances.

Kuldeep made his International début against Australia in a deciding Test match in Dharamsala in March 2017. He justified his selection by claiming four wickets in the first innings.

Three months down the line, he has made his ODI and T20I debuts as well. Kuldeep cemented his place in the Indian Team after he played a big part in India's 4-1 win over Australia in a five-match ODI series.

He also became only the 3rd Indian cricketer to claim a One Day hat-trick. The chinaman bowler dismissed Matthew Wade, Ashton Agar and Pat Cummins in consecutive deliveries to reach the landmark.

Kuldeep will play a crucial role in India's quest for another World Cup glory.
