He took his maiden international hat-trick during an ODI against Australia in 2017 at the historic Eden Gardens. He accounted for Matthew Wade, Ashton Agar and Pat Cummins.

Long before making his India bow, Kuldeep grabbed the spotlight while representing India at the 2014 U-19 World Cup. Against Scotland, he became the first ever from his country to take a hat-trick in the tournament when he dismissed Nick Farrar (0), Kyle Stirling (0) and Alex Baum (5).

Meanwhile, in India’s 15-man squad for the 2022 T20 World Cup in Australia, Kuldeep couldn’t find a place. India have included Yuzvendra Chahal, Ravichandran Ashwin and Axar Patel as their primary spin bowlers.

However, former India opener Wasim Jaffer had advocated for the inclusion of Kuldeep though.

“…want to keep Kuldeep Yadav in the mix for the T20 World Cup. If Chahal is not performing, you need another wristspinner. They have (Ravi) Bishnoi but Kuldeep brings a different skillset and has been excellent in the IPL and whenever he got the chance," he said on ESPNcricinfo.
