Kuldeep Yadav, one of India’s best left-arm wrist spinners, has enjoyed a comeback in recent years thanks to strong performances in international and IPL cricket. He has established himself as a regular member of the Indian team, thanks to his wicket-taking abilities.

While he is best recognised for his white-ball excellence, he has also played Test cricket and made the most of limited opportunities, including a four-for on debut against Australia. Kuldeep has taken 306 wickets in 170 international appearances across all formats. Over the years, the spinner has made a lot of money from lucrative IPL contracts, BCCI contracts, and endorsements.
