Team India spinner Kuldeep Yadav makes a quick rise to the top of the wickets tally with his sublime four-fer in the clash against the UAE. The left-arm spinner spun a web around the opposition to strike thrice in an over, before also snatching up the final wicket to conclude the innings.

All-rounder Shivam Dube also made the most of his rare bowling spell to end with three wickets, and as a result, is the second-highest wicket-taker in the early stages of the competition.

Afghanistan pacers Gulbadin Naib and Fazalhaq Farooqi are ranked next, courtesy of their two wickets apiece during Hong Kong's collapse in the earlier contest.
