Kuldeep Yadav
The much-needed mystery

Kuldeep Yadav

The young man from Uttar Pradesh has quickly established himself as one of the go-to men for Kohli in the shortest format and with his wrist spin has given the Indian team the option to not only stem the flow of runs but also the ability to pick up wickets.

Yuzvendra Chahal

Another wrist spinner and a huge positive for India from the Australia series, Chahal has complemented Kuldeep beautifully all through and has also accounted for many useful wickets.

His temperament is rock solid and he enjoys the confidence of captain Kohli. The Haryana-boy is not afraid to bowl the 'dirty' overs and generally gets the job done.
