The UP youngster has picked six wickets in the first two ODI matches and looks set to rival his fellow wrist spinner Yuzvendra Chahal (7 wickets) for the top spot on the wicket-taking list. Three wickets in the first match and three in the second, Kuldeep has been economical as well (3.37).
Yuzvendra Chahal
The leg-spinner was at his brilliant best in the second ODI and dismantled the South African batting line-up, picking five wickets for 22 runs. With two wickets in the first match as well, Chahal's performance in the next four matches is going to be very crucial for the Indian team.
