#3 Kolkata Knight Riders - Kuldeep Yadav

Kolkata Knight Riders are one of the earliest teams to play a mystery spinner in the side. With a change in his bowling action, Sunil Narine's potency with the ball in hand has declined slightly. But KKR still has a chinaman bowler who can rise to the occasion.

In the 31 matches that he played in the purple and gold jersey, Kuldeep Yadav has taken 35 wickets. While playing for India, he has taken 33 wickets in just 17 matches at a strike-rate of 11.55. These stats prove that overseas batsmen still find it difficult to figure out Kuldeep Yadav.

Not only India's World Cup hopes to rest on Kuldeep Yadav, but KKR's IPL hopes also rest on the chinaman exponent.

Kuldeep's unorthodox bowling will be handy in the middle overs. He will be looking to pick wickets and choke the flow of runs along with Sunil Narine.
