Kuldeep Yadav’s performance has been a highlight of the Asia Cup 2025. He became the best bowler in the Asia Cup among spinners by taking 4 wickets for just 7 runs. He surpassed Pakistani spinner Shadab Khan, who took 4 wickets for 8 runs against Hong Kong in 2022. However, Bhuvneshwar Kumar holds the overall record for the best bowling figures, with 5 wickets for 4 runs against Afghanistan in 2022. Yadav’s success is particularly striking given his past struggles, which once led him to contemplate suicide at age 13 due to setbacks in his cricket career.
