IPL 2022: 10 players who are turning out to be bargain picks for their teams
The 15th edition of the cash-rich league have been a grand success so far
7. Kuldeep Yadav – Delhi Capitals (INR 2 crores)
The leg-spinner from India has been struggling recently to find his rhythm post-MS Dhoni era. Kuldeep, who was neglected by KKR and just played five matches for KKR in the 2020 season, was bought by the Delhi Capitals for his base price of INR 2 crores. Kuldeep was always known for his mystery googly and was rated highly till the time Dhoni guided him from behind the wickets.
The Capitals used the mystery bowler in some fashion in the seven matches that they have played so far. The wristy left-arm spinner is currently at No. 3 in the Purple Cap race with 13 wickets in seven innings. Kuldeep is also the highest wicket-taker for Delhi. Bowling with a decent economy rate of 8.47, Kuldeep has a staggering strike rate of 12.30, meaning the youngster picks at least one wicket in a minimum of 12 balls.
Kuldeep has shown the world why he is considered highly regarded in the Indian spin bowling circuit. Taking four wickets against his former team KKR, which was a match-winning performance, he proved the Kolkata management wrong for not trusting in his abilities. Kuldeep has not just picked wickets in the middle overs but has been able to deceive the batters with his wrong ones and the top spinners.
