Delhi Capitals spinner Kuldeep Yadav was recognized for his phenomenal performance in the Asia Cup 2025, being named the Most Valuable Player (MVP) of the tournament. Kuldeep finished as the leading wicket-taker, dismantling opposition batting line-ups with his wrist spin and claiming an impressive 17 wickets throughout India’s undefeated campaign.
His most decisive performance came in the final against Pakistan, where he secured a crucial four-wicket haul (4/30 in 4 overs), restricting Pakistan to a manageable total. Kuldeep’s ability to strike consistently in the middle overs proved to be a game-changer for the Indian side, showcasing his mastery over the T20 format.
Following the tournament, Kuldeep immediately shifted focus, traveling to Ahmedabad to join the squad preparing for the upcoming Test series against the West Indies. His dominant form on the international stage provides a significant positive outlook for the Delhi Capitals management and fans, confirming his status as a world-class spinner ready to lead the attack in the next IPL season.
“India's head coach, Gautam Gambhir, and spinner, Kuldeep Yadav, who was the leading wicket taker at the Asia Cup with 17 wickets (crowned Most Valuable Player of the Tournament) arrived in Ahmedabad early morning on September 30, 2025.”
