A premier left-arm wrist-spinner and a genuine game-changer, Kuldeep Yadav is the "magician" in the Delhi Capitals bowling attack. Known for his deceptive googlies and ability to extract turn on any surface, Kuldeep has consistently delivered match-winning spells throughout his IPL career, most notably in 2022 when he claimed 21 wickets. His status as a world-class strike bowler was further cemented by his heroics for India during the 2024 T20 World Cup, where he finished as the team's leading spin wicket-taker, playing a pivotal role in their historic title triumph. In the 2025 season, Kuldeep continued his rich vein of form, emerging as the leading wicket-taker for the Capitals with 15 scalps at a clinical economy rate. Whether breaking critical middle-over partnerships or applying pressure in the death overs, his ability to outsmart the best batters makes him an indispensable asset. Recognising his immense value, the Delhi Capitals have retained him for the TATA IPL 2026 season. He remains a vital pillar of the squad, ready to weave his magic once again as the Capitals chase their maiden TATA IPL glory.
