Asia Cup 2018: One player to watch out for from each team

India - Kuldeep Yadav

With 26 wickets from just 9 ODIs in South Africa and England, Kuldeep would relish the conditions in UAE.

Kuldeep Yadav, who grabbed headlines with a hattrick in the Under-19 World Cup in 2012, did the same on his international debut against Australia last year. Making his Test debut in March, he took four wickets in the first innings and this was followed by a limited-overs debut a few months later.

In the year since, he has managed more than two wickets in every limited overs international he has played. He took an ODI hat-trick against Australia at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata last year. But the highlight of his career so far was 26 wickets in his first eight ODI's in South Africa and England - regions that are not typically renowned for assisting spin.

Kuldeep's unorthodox angle, combined with his ability to spin the ball square both sides and a knack for constant learning and improvement makes him a complete package. If he finds support from other bowlers, he can take wickets at will with his many variations - including subtle changes in pace. Add to that the fact that he hasn't played against most of the Asian teams, and you'd know why he is the Indian player to watch out for, this tournament.
