Kuldeep Yadav

Kuldeep Yadav is a left-arm wrist-spinner and an established member of India’s limited-overs bowling group. He has been selected for the three-match ODI series against West Indies, having also featured in India’s ODI squads for England earlier in 2026. His ability to turn the ball sharply and vary his pace gives India a specialist wicket-taking option in the middle overs. Kuldeep has developed considerable international experience and remains an important part of India’s spin resources as the team continues shaping its ODI combination.

The wrist-spinner can create problems for batters with his changes of angle, flight and turn, particularly when he gets enough grip from the surface. His googly adds another layer of uncertainty, allowing him to challenge both right- and left-handed batters. Kuldeep’s role is especially significant during the middle overs, where breaking partnerships can alter the course of an ODI innings. With India facing West Indies in Thiruvananthapuram, Guwahati and New Chandigarh, he will be looking to make his variations count. For fantasy cricket, his ability to pick up multiple wickets makes him a useful bowling option, while economical spells can further strengthen his points potential.
