Kuldeep Yadav

A customer recently ordered food on Swiggy but intriguingly got a delivery agent named Kuldeep Yadav, which left the person wondering whether the Indian cricketer had started making delivery off the field, as well.

India at ODI World Cup 2023: In their four matches thus far, India have shot out Australia for 199, kept Afghanistan down to 272 for eight on a terrific batting surface, dismissed Pakistan for 191 and prevented Bangladesh from scoring more than 256 for eight.

Kuldeep Yadav of 2019 was still learning the tricks of the trade and had struggled for form before heading into the big event, but he is a different beast now.

Indian Premier League: RCB were going all guns blazing as Virat Kohli (50 off 34 balls) slammed his third fifty of the tournament and Glenn Maxwell (24 off 14 balls; 3x6) was in a six-hitting spree.

India all-rounder Axar Patel jumped 20 spots to reach a career-best 18th position while spinner Kuldeep Yadav catapulted 19 places to 49th in the latest ICC Test rankings released on Wednesday.

Leg-spinners are a rare breed and when you have them, you encourage them and make them a potent weapon. That would mean trouble for the opposition.

Spinner Kuldeep Yadav snared four batters as India bowled out South Africa for a paltry 99.

Kuldeep, who is in the middle of a brilliant season, finished with 4 for 14 which included the wickets of Shreyas and the dangerous Andre Russell. He now has 17 wickets and one short of Yuzvendra Chahal's 18 scalps.

For Yuzvendra Chahal and Kuldeep Yadav in particular, the 15th Indian Premier League has given them a chance at redemption.

Kuldeep Yadav stood out for the manner in which he took the two wickets in the middle overs.

Making a return to IPL after missing 2021 due to knee injury, and also finding himself out of favour in the Indian team in recent times, Kuldeep showed that all’s well with him and his bowling by picking up three key wickets and going for miserly figures of three for 18 in his four overs.

Ravindra Jadeja (16*) and wicketkeeper Wriddhiman Saha (10*) were at the crease at the end of the second session, with India still trailing by 52 runs.

The 22-year-old Kuldeep, who replaced injured skipper Viart Kohli, returned figures of four for 68 in 23 overs after Australia decided to bat and made a resounding start.

Australia were scoring rapidly and went to lunch at 131/1. But Yadav took four wickets to peg Australia back even as captain Steve Smith held fort with another century.
