#2 Kuldeep Yadav
Kuldeep Yadav is a left-arm chinaman who gives the ball a lot of flight and has subtle variations in his armory. He is only the third Indian bowler after Chetan Sharma and Kapil Dev to pick up a hat-trick in ODI cricket for India.
Being extremely good at bowling the traditional leg-break and the googly, Kuldeep's variations are very difficult for the opposition to pick. Having made his ODI debut against the West Indies on 23 June 2017, Kuldeep has picked up 38 wickets in 19 matches at an average of 19.21.
His spin-bowling partnership with Chahal has proved to be very effective for India. In England, Chahal will pile up the pressure from one end and from the other, Kuldeep with deceptive variations will create trouble for the English batsmen. Kuldeep will probably be the X-factor of India's bowling attack for the ODI series in England.
