Asia Cup 2023: Kuldeep Yadav breaks huge record of Anil Kumble

Kuldeep Yadav have taken 150 wickets in One Day Internationals in just 88 matches, making him the fastest Indian spinner to reach this milestone.

In white-ball cricket, Indian spinner Kuldeep Yadav has been on a stellar run of form, and he has continued to demonstrate his prowess in the ongoing Asia Cup, winning two consecutive matches for his team. His extraordinary performance not only contributed to India’s consecutive triumphs, but also earned him a significant career milestone in cricket.

In the Asia Cup match against Pakistan, Kuldeep Yadav’s enchantment resulted in a five-wicket total. He exhibited dexterity and command, baffling the Pakistani batsmen and guiding India to a decisive victory on the reserve day. He did not, however, stop there. In the next match against Sri Lanka, Kuldeep once again demonstrated his prowess by capturing four wickets and playing a crucial role in defending India’s modest total of 213 runs.
