IND vs NED: Kuldeep Yadav Just 2 Wickets Away From History
History could be written tonight in Ahmedabad and it could come from the left arm of Kuldeep Yadav.
As India prepare to face the Netherlands in their crucial T20 World Cup clash, all eyes are not just on the scoreboard, but on one man chasing a record. Kuldeep Yadav stands just two wickets away from surpassing Yuzvendra Chahal to become India’s highest wicket-taking spinner in T20 internationals.
Right now, Kuldeep has 95 wickets in just 54 matches. Chahal, who has been a mainstay in India’s white-ball setup for years, sits at 96 wickets from 80 games. That gap is razor thin. Two breakthroughs against the Dutch and the record changes hands.

But this is not just about numbers. It is about evolution. Kuldeep’s journey has had ups and downs. He burst onto the scene as a mystery wrist-spinner, then went through a phase of inconsistency and now he has returned sharper, calmer and more dangerous. In India’s previous game, he delivered a tight spell and showed control under pressure. That rhythm could make all the difference tonight.
And there is more at stake. If Kuldeep manages a five-wicket haul, he will reach the 100-wicket milestone in T20 internationals. That would make him the first Indian spinner and only the fourth Indian bowler overall to touch that mark in the shortest format. It would also put him among the fastest in the world to reach 100 wickets, alongside elite names like Rashid Khan and Sandeep Lamichhane.
A strong performance from Kuldeep could give India not just two points, but psychological dominance heading into the knockout stages. It would also underline India’s spin strength, something that has defined their white-ball success for years.
So as the lights shine over the Narendra Modi Stadium, remember this — every time Kuldeep runs in to bowl, history is on the line.
