[PICTURES/VIDEOS] Chinaman: The legend of Kuldeep Yadav

Over hyped English batting line up destroyed by Kuldeep today.

He is a gun bowler.
 
Bewal Express said:
This lad is a very special,I have watched him very closely as he bowls chinaman like my young son and I believe he will go on to become the best spinner of this generation. India have a great talent which I hope for their sake is not destroyed by too much too soon and over bowling.

You were right Billu.

He is special.
 
Bowled like an ATG today.

Simply wow.

The flight, the turn, the deception...he is so much fun and scary to watch.
 
Both Ashwin and Kuldeep should play in 1st Test.

Jaddu can come in if one of these 2 struggle.
 
Incredible guile and control from this lad today! Always rated him much more than Chahal as he gets most of his wickets from deception and flight, rather than the wide 11th stump slow spinners that Chahal does. Obviously the latter is a skill as well, but won't translate to wickets in test matches. Skill like Kuldeep on the other hand will.
 
Brilliant spell and brilliant bowling by Kuldeep. Hope he continues in this vain throughout the series and I hope the management retain him for the tests.
 
'It was amazing' – Kuldeep Yadav leaves England in a spin

Kuldeep Yadav, India’s 23-year-old left-arm wrist-spinner, said that varying the pace and the flight of his deliveries helped him succeed on Tuesday against England on an Old Trafford pitch that wasn't offering much turn.

The young spinner finished with a brilliant 5/24, which included the wickets of Eoin Morgan, Jonny Bairstow and Joe Root in a single over. That restricted England to 159/8, which India chased down with 10 balls in hand in the first of three Twenty20 Internationals as KL Rahul blasted a 54-ball 101*.

“The pitch did not have much turn. I did not want to give pace to the English batsmen as it would have made batting easy for them. I executed my plan very well,” Kuldeep said after the match.

“The ball wasn't turning much. (Yuzvendra) Chahal, who bowled before me, also confirmed the same, so I focused on varying my pace, and the flight of my deliveries,” he went on. “This was the key and it helped me in getting the wickets. I don't think about the batsmen while bowling, I focus on what I can do.”

Kuldeep was delighted after he sent Bairstow and Root back for golden ducks off consecutive deliveries, both batsmen out stumped.

“Obviously they are quality batsmen, and it’s a good feeling when you take two wickets on the trot,” he said. “It was amazing … brilliant, I guess. Three wickets in the over really changed the momentum.”

The spinner also reflected on his experience of bowling to Jos Buttler, who top-scored for England on the day with a 46-ball 69, in the Indian Premier League recently.

“Sometimes, you need to consider the batsman. When I was bowling to Jos Buttler, because I know him well, I have bowled a lot to him in the IPL, I knew that he wouldn't take risks against me and would only take singles, which I was happy to give,” Yadav said.

Virat Kohli, the India captain, was understandably thrilled with Kuldeep’s performance, which gave India a winning start to a long tour of England.

“He is going to be effective on any kind of pitch and with a bit of assistance, he becomes even more lethal,” said Kohli. “He can turn it away from you or right into you and I think it's very difficult to pick. I hope he can keep batsmen guessing.”

Kuldeep looked rather ordinary in IPL 2018 but he has been brilliant in SA and now in Eng. I wonder why in IPL he did not do that well?
 
A match winner.

About time India unleashed him tests. I cannot imagine India going to Australia without Kuldeep Yadav in test side
 
Indian attack this match is basically 3 duds and Kuldeep Yadav. Let's see what he can do. :warne:
 
Chinamen are the most entertaining bowlers to watch besides a 90+ MPH fast bowler. :akhtar

As long as he derives his strengths from flight, bounce, and turn rather than the T20 gung-ho of flat and fast, he will continue to pick up wickets.
 
Him and Rashid are the two best Limited Overs spinners by some distance at the moment. No one else comes close. Tahir's best days are behind him as well.
 
India should play Kuldeep and Ashwin for the first Test.

Kuldeep can get you wickets even on flat wickets. Same cannot be said about the likes of Ashwin/Jaddu.
 
6 wickets for Kuldeep.

In ODI cricket for a spinner its a special achievement. That too outside subcontinent. Well done Sir. :14:

Which Rashid?
 
Start has been good. According to the exceptional talent he is supposed to possess.

But he now has to move ahead. Still hasnt seen him bowl the flipper. Doesnot bowl the slidder.

He doesn't bowl flipper. He has developed a faster one though.
 
England suddenly seem very comfortable picking him.
 
Too much expectation from a young boy other indian bowler also need to step up there bowling and take wickets otherwise he alone can not win all the matches for india.
 
This forum doesn't understand the fact that players can have bad series and are allow to go through bad patches. Indian fans are just as bad as our fans for bumping threads like this.

Chahal isn't as good as Kuldeep but in his last LO series he took apart South Africa. He was always going to have 1 bad series lol . If he a few more series of bad performances bump threads like this ,but until then calm down. It makes the sensible fans look bad.

You were quick to pounce on “Show off Shadab” after his performance of late, nothing about Kuldeep boss?
Home conditions, 9 games 4 wickets Average of 71 with an economy of 8.6.

Show off Kuldeep?

There is no comparison between the two. Shadab is an average spinner and a minnow-basher at best.

Kuldeep is world class who hasn’t been at his best recently. However, he will be back in his element eventually.

If Shadab was India, he wouldn’t have played a single international match so far.

you are wasting your time on that person.Kuldeep is worldclass spinner but alot of thing also favor him
he plays for team that win more often than not
he have support of chahal who is also very good
there are many other factors which is in favor of kuldeep while shadab lacks that luxury.Any way shadab is very young and going through learning process .he is far from finished product and will shut his haters

Let’s not compare Kuldeep and Shadab now. It is going to end in tears like the Pandya vs Faheem thread. Our fans never learn.

Kuldeep is at least three levels above Shadab as a spinner.

No one is comparing them, everyone knows Kuldeep is clear of Shadab. I was asking why you haven’t spoken at all about Kuldeep’s total flopshow in the ‘joint highest’ form of t20 cricket in the world.

A better player is open to more criticism when they don’t perform, howver you choose to pick on Shadab after every little mistake he makes. Why don’t you do the same for Kuldeep? I guess agenda never stops.

A better player is not open to more criticism, in fact, a world class player gets more breathing space than a mediocre player, because you can back a player of proven quality to bounce back at any moment.

If I were part of the Indian management, I would not be worried about Kuldeep because I know that he will deliver in the World Cup. Unfortunately, I cannot say the same about Shadab because there are no minnows to bash this time.

Who gets to designate a player as being 'world class' vs 'mediocre'?
 
Eden Gardens has suddenly become spinner killer this season. Rahul Chahar who was maintaining ER under 7 winning matches for Mumbai Indians got exposed at Eden Gardens 4 overs 54 runs. Same match Chawla was shredded to pieces by Pandya. Narine went for 44 runs in 4 overs. Kuldeep albeit a slow leggie will have problem more than others. He would have enjoyed other pitches more. Anyway this is T20. You can line up against any bowler. Chahal is brilliant though purely through his brainy bowling
 
I expect him to be a major MVP at the WC..big wicket taker..expecting tons of wickets and probably WC final MVP if india get there..my prediction is he will be a major star after the WC..

i agree with this...I dont think we should compare..Im hoping shadab can nick a few major wickets but Im not expecting him to give us MVP type performances every match..Im expecting kuldeep to be too good for most world batsmen..

It is arbitrary to an extent, but I would say that performances against the top teams is usually a very reliable indicator.

Kuldeep vs the top teams (England, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand) and Pakistan:

Average of 22 and roughly 2 wickets per game.

Shadab vs the top teams:

Average of 38 and approximately one wicket per game.

It is pretty obvious that Kuldeep is world class against the top opposition while Shadab is very ordinary.

IMO, Kuldeep will be the difference between India winning the World Cup and falling short. If the opposition negate him, India will struggle to restrict teams to low scores, but if he delivers like he has against the top opposition so far, India are surely going to be in the final. An amazing find for India.

cant see many teams negating him..maybe england and perhaps the lankans as a surprise..everyone else will try and maximise their other games while going for it against India but not worrying if they lose..
 
Kuldeep is a special talent. He is going to go through a rough patch. Needs to overcome it for India to do well at the WC.

It can be argued that the top teams are poor against spin, specially the surprise factor of left-arm leg-spin.

I do believe Kuldeep is a proper spinner and way ahead of Shadab (who is unlikely to ever make it as a top-level spinner), but I'm not sure how he warrants the world class tag yet.

Similarly, Shadab may have struggled in a few outings but keep in mind that Kuldeep is a few years older and has a lot more FC experience.

Wow!! so Kuldeep Yadav isn't world class? You have a very high standard sirji.
 
Kuldeep bowls much slower, and flights it. You will pick up lots of wickets this way as scoring singles are a little harder. Scoring singles of Shadab is easier as he bowls quicker. Both are wrist spinners but a tad different. Kuldeep also turns into most of the batsmen and therefore easier to get tonked around when the balls turns in mostly.
 
Kuldeep apart from one game did not do much in England, so what makes him a big threat this time around ?

Played only 5 limited overs matches, won 2 of them single-handedly, he is one of our most valuable asset and second only to Kohli in sheer match winning ability, no opposition can afford to take him lightly.

Kuldeep beats batsmen in the air, most wrist spinners, especially those flight a lot get, it is extremely difficult to pick sudden variation in flight, especially when they are flighted well. It is literally not possible when the ball is once at the eye line of a bowler. This is why players look dumb when they get out to wrist spinners. Warne and Murali were the masters of making players look stupid. If we had Ashwin, on flat icc "neutral" pitches with current sets of ODI English batsmen, it is a murder.
 
Delivered on the big day.

Those 2 wickets in one over turned the match in India’s way. Got two set batsmen our. Priceless contribution.


Well done Sir
 
KUldeep has bamboozled so many top international batsmen like Root, Kane williamson, ABDV. Many batsmen don't pick him off the hand.
 
One of the most ridiculous deliveries to dismiss Babar. He generated so much spin. Nobody felt comfortable against him.
 
The delivery to Babar was awesome. I don't think even Kohli would have survived that.
 
Babar Azam delivery could have got anyone out. Unlucky there Babar.
 
despite Kuldeep was not in top form until today, he was included in to the game.

Kuldeep’s delivery to dismiss Babar was a stunning ball. Tossed up and drew Babar forward before pitching and spinning sharply to rip back through the gate and bowl him

They mostly get beaten in the air, you can't predict how much the ball will dip because Kuldeep and other Wrist spinner vary how much revs the put on the ball so it dips to various amount. Also the smaller your turn is, harder to pick your variations. This is why Kuldeep is deadly.
 
Kuldeep yadav next shane warne??

Looking at yesterday's match ,the way he bowled pakistan best batsman babr azam ,reminds me of shane warne bowled Gibbs 1999 worldcup semifinal..Can he be next shane warne

No.

Don't need the hyperbole yet.

I've seen Warne bowl live and most of the times you were trying to survive his 10 over spell no matter what the pitch.

I don't think Kuldeep is at that level yet.
 
No !! Warne had whole array of variation. The fizz of the pitch was amazing to watch. Warne if nothing happening he will go to all kind of balls. Zooters, flippers

Ravi Ashwin has bowled more magical deliveries than anyone i can recall. One that cleaned up Amla was a stunning delivery.

No. The only similarity is the big spin and drift both of them got.

Kuldeep still has to master the flipper. And he still has a long way to go before he sets up a batsman like Warne did.

But he has a higher ceiling than Chahal.

Next 02 years will be critical for his peak and his ability to trap the batsmen.
 
Most talented spinner going around

Chahal is also good but Kuldeep potential wise is on a different level
