Top 5 wrist spinners in the world right now

#4 Kuldeep Yadav

Kuldeep Yadav is fast establishing himself in the Indian set-up

Kuldeep Yadav first grabbed eye-balls with a superb performance in the 2014 under 19 World Cup. He ended as the joint top wicket-taker, with 14 scalps in 6 matches. Despite getting limited opportunities in the Indian Premier League owing to the spin bowling surplus in KKR, he managed to impress the selectors.

This lion-hearted chinaman has spun his way through the ranks and looks set for greatness. From his exploits in the 2012 under 19 World Cup to bamboozling the Australian batsmen in their ongoing tour of India, Kuldeep Yadav has come a long way.

He belongs to the unique breed of left-arm wrist spinners. Apart from this obvious and distinct edge that most chinaman bowlers bring to their sides, Kuldeep can bowl the regular leg-spinner, the googly and the top spinner with absolutely no change in action. This makes it even more difficult for batsmen to read his deliveries.

He is one player India must groom for the 2019 ICC World Cup if they harbour any hopes of claiming the trophy.
