Kuldip Yadav is a left-arm seamer from Delhi with limited but valuable exposure at the top level. His entire T20 experience has come in the TATA IPL, where he has played three matches for Rajasthan Royals, two in 2021 and one in 2023, picking up two wickets. Though his appearances have been few, Yadav offers a useful left-arm angle and variation in the pace attack. He returns to the IPL in 2026 with a fresh opportunity after being signed by Chennai Super Kings as a replacement player. With CSK’s track record of backing emerging talent, Yadav will be eager to make the most of his second chance in the league.
