#2 Handling Kuldeep Yadav
The chinaman spinner has revived India's spin bowling fortunes since making his debut in the West Indies. With 8 wickets in 3 innings at an average of 15.25 and economy of 4.20, it is safe to say that Kuldeep has been the X-factor for India with the ball.
He leads the wickets chart in his debut series and his wrong 'un has bamboozled the already vulnerable batting line-up of the West Indies.
If West Indies need to win at Kingston, they need to deny wickets to the chinaman spinner. Kuldeep has allowed Ashwin and Hardik Pandya to bowl without pressure but if Windies can play him out or milk him for ones and twos the pressure will be on the others to take wickets.
How they handle the wily Kolkata Knight Riders spinner will go a long way in determining the winners of the final ODI.
