Spinner: Kuldeep Yadav

Kuldeep Yadav has established himself as the front-line spinner for India in the limited-overs format. He is also the go-to man in crises for the team due to excellent contribution with the ball in the middle overs. Further, he has got subtle variations in his armoury which are quite difficult to read even for the best batsmen in the business.
In the recently-concluded T20 series in Australia, he was economical, the Australian batsmen were unable to read his variations and hence were unable to get the better of him. Further, in the last Test match of the series at Sydney, Yadav picked up a five-wicket haul in Australia's first innings and hence helped India to be in an advantageous position.
Hence, it is widely expected from Kuldeep Yadav to continue is good form and help India win the ODI series.
