IPL 2019: 5 wrist spinners to watch for

#2. Kuldeep Yadav - Kolkata Knight Riders

Yadav has played in the shadow of Sunil Narine for KKR

Unlike Team India, where Kuldeep Yadav has been the leading and the first-choice spinner, he has often played the second fiddle to Sunil Narine while playing for the Knight Riders. Although he was among the wickets in 2018, but he proved out to be a touch expensive under Dinesh Karthik and is yet to replicate his national success to his franchise.

He wanted to become a left-arm seamer but his coach thought otherwise and rightly so. Yadav has racked up 86 wickets in the 43 ODIs that he has played in. The Chinaman bowler (left-arm leg spin) who brings the ball in to the right hander, will be Kolkata's player to watch out for, as he is coming after a successful year with India.
