#2 Kuldeep Yadav - India
Kuldeep Yadav's name was written in the history book even before he bowled a single ball in the Test match at Dharamsala. He became the first left-arm Chinaman to play for India and second from the Subcontinent after Sri-Lankan Lakshan Sandakan.
Kuldeep Yadav had a memorable start to his Test career, as he dismissed David Warner to get his first Test wicket. He then went on to dismantle the Australian middle order claiming the scalps of Peter Handscomb, Glenn Maxwell and Shaun Marsh. He finished with the figures of 4-68 in the first innings.
Despite going wicket-less in the second innings, his impact in the first innings with the ball was crucial which helped India to win the match by 8 wickets.
