Kuldeep Yadav is one of the few Chinaman bowlers who has played Test cricket. He is very skillful and has bamboozled a lot of batsmen in white ball cricket.

Kuldeep is the first bowler ever to pick five-fors in all the three formats of international cricket. He has not played too many matches, but the limited sample space has given enough proof that he will be quite a handful in Test cricket.

Kuldeep made his debut against Australia in 2017 on a batting friendly Dharamsala wicket when the series was on the line. He ran through the Aussies in the second session, picking up four wickets in his first ever international outing.

He continued to impress after that as he picked up wickets against Sri Lanka, where the Lankan batsmen were all at sea against the Indian spinners.

Kuldeep has picked up two five-fors, but the one against Australia in Sydney was a masterclass. Once he gains more international experience, he could well become the leading world spinner in the years to come.
