Kuldeep Yadav Biography
  • Kuldeep Yadav, known for his intriguing left-arm wrist spin, has established himself as an important member of India's bowling squad. His unusual bowling movement and lethal variations, especially a deceptive googly, have regularly challenged batters and garnered him praise for his wicket-taking abilities.
  • Kuldeep Yadav's cricket career began at the age of 17 when he represented India in the Under-19 circuit in 2012. However, it was at the 2014 Under-19 World Cup that he made his true international debut. Yadav made history by being the first Indian bowler to capture a hat-trick in the event, finishing as the joint-highest wicket-taker with 14 scalps, grabbing the attention of selectors and earning an Indian Premier League (IPL) contract with the Kolkata Knight Riders in 2016.
  • In the same year, Kuldeep Yadav made his List A debut for Uttar Pradesh and continued to impress with steady performances. His outstanding performance in the 2017 Duleep Trophy, when he took 17 wickets in three games, established his status as a rising star in Indian cricket.
  • Although Yadav made his IPL debut in 2016, it was in 2018 that he fully demonstrated his talent. With 17 wickets in 16 matches, he emerged as a vital player for the Kolkata side, gaining acclaim for his ability to confuse hitters with his spin magic. However, his form deteriorated in future seasons, and a knee injury forced him to miss the IPL 2021 before being dismissed by Kolkata.
  • In 2022, Yadav found a new home with the Delhi franchise, where he enjoyed a resurgence in form. Finishing as one of the tournament's top-five wicket-takers with 21 scalps, Yadav reaffirmed his status as a premier spinner in the IPL.
  • Yadav's success in both domestic and IPL cricket prepared the door for his international debut in 2017, when he made an early impression with four wickets against Australia in the Test match. Since then, he has become a regular in India's bowling lineup in all three forms.
  • Throughout his career, Kuldeep Yadav has achieved remarkable feats, including five-wicket hauls in all three formats of the game.
