Top 5 best bowling figures by left-arm spinners in ODIs

Kuldeep Yadav 6 for 25

England v India - 1st ODI: Royal London One-Day Series

Kuldeep made headlines when he scalped first hat-trick by an Indian in the under-19 World Cup by wobbling three Scottish batsmen into his web. Right from his debut, he has been threatening the batsmen in all formats of the game with his delightful deliveries. He tops this list by demolishing England's Long batting line-up in the first of three ODIs against England in 2018.

Virat won the toss and opted to field first in the first ODI that took place in Trent bridge as he was confident of his team chasing any total down. England openers Roy and Bairstow were furious and gave a good start. When seamers Umesh and Kaul had no answers to English openers Virat threw his trump card Kuldeep into play in the 10th over.

Kuldeep pegged England back by taking 3 wickets in his first Ten deliveries. As a result, England were bundled out for mere 268 at the batting paradise that is Trent Bridge. Kuldeep ended his match-winning spell by taking 6 English wickets and was rightly adjudged the MOM. Also, India won that first ODI comprehensively by 8 wickets, courtesy Rohit Sharma's Century.
