The left-arm wrist-spinner from Uttar Pradesh, Kuldeep Yadav, has taken the Indian cricket by storm. The 23-year old made his ODI debut in June 2017 against the West Indies in the Caribbean. Soon he was given a chance in the shortest format of the game as well. The left-arm bowler then successfully replaced the likes of Jadeja and Ashwin in the limited overs team.

Kuldeep is now flourishing at the Test level as well and has taken enormous strides in bowling with the red-ball. Today, the wrist-spinner captured three wickets against Windies. He dismissed Kraigg Brathwaite, Shimron Hetmyer and Sunil Ambris to reduce WI to 113/5. The master of googly therefore raised his tally of Test wickets to 18.

With these 18 wickets in Tests, Kuldeep Yadav has completed 100 international wickets. He already has 58 wickets in ODIs and 24 wickets in T20Is. It has taken him 47 innings, and he has three five-wicket hauls in total (one in each format).
