Born on December 14, 1994, Kuldeep Yadav is a Ranji Trophy cricketer who plays for Uttar Pradesh. Kuldeep Yadav was born in a small village “Shiv Singh Khera” in Unnao district. He is a slow left-arm chinaman bowler. He has played for India Under-19 cricket team in the 2014 ICC Under-19 Cricket World Cup where he took a hat-trick against Scotland and also impressed Pakistani legend Wasim Akram, who later took him to play for Kolkata Knight Riders.
He was a member of the Mumbai Indians squad in 2012 and signed up by the Kolkata Knight Riders in 2014. After good performance in 2014 Champions League Twenty20, Kuldeep gained much appreciation after good bowling in the tournament. He got the chance to play in Indian cricket Team to play his first series against West Indies starting Oct 2014 but was not able to get a chance as West Indies withdraw the tour at half due to dispute between players and the board.
Yadav’s father Ram Singh Yadav is an owner of a brick kiln and they live in a rented apartment having shifted from their native village in Unnao to Kanpur, where there are better cricket coaching facilities, so that his talented son could pursue his dreams.
Experts believe that Yadav is presently one of the leading left-arm slow left-arm bowlers, who possesses all that is required to blossom at the highest level and has the potential to beat the best in the world.
