The co-hosts of Asia Cup 2023, Pakistan were asked to chase down a mammoth 356 runs against a mighty Indian bowling attack considering the likes of Jasprit Bumrah, Hardik Pandya and Md. Siraj, who did plenty of damage to their top order. But Kuldeep Yadav had some other plans.

Kuldeep Yadav is the first Indian spinner after Sachin Tendulkar to take a five-wicket haul in men's ODIs against Pakistan 👊#AsiaCup2023 | #PAKvIND pic.twitter.com/ie0PJAQzVW
The Delhi Capitals spinner has been named in India's provisional World Cup squad, and he proved his credentials by dismissing half of the Pakistan side in the eight overs that he bowled. Kuldeep ended up dismissing Pakistan batters like Agha Salman, Iftikhar Ahmed, Shadab Khan and Faheem Ashraf. Seamers Haris Rauf and Naseem Shah didn't come out to bat due to injury
