Kuldeep Yadav Joins Elite Club with 100 IPL Wickets

Kuldeep Yadav has achieved a notable milestone in the Indian Premier League. He has become the 28th bowler and 11th spinner to claim 100 wickets in the tournament.

Delhi Capitals spinner Kuldeep Yadav has become the 28th bowler to take 100 IPL wickets in the match against DC and MI. He achieved this feat after dismissing Mumbai Indians’ Ryan Rickelton on May 21.

Fourth Fastest Spinner to Take 100 Wickets

Yadav is the fourth fastest spinner to claim 100 wickets in the IPL. He completed the milestone in 97 matches.

Amit Mishra, Rashid Khan, and Varun Chakaravarthy hold the record as the fastest spinners to reach 100 IPL wickets, each doing so in just 83 matches. Punjab Kings’ Yuzvendra Chahal accomplished the milestone in 84 games, while Kolkata Knight Riders’ Sunil Narine is third on the list, reaching the mark in 86 matches.

He debuted in the IPL back in 2016 and has since played 97 matches to reach the milestone. In his early days with the Mumbai Indians, Kuldeep Yadav was benched by the franchise. He later found his rhythm with the Kolkata Knight Riders and then moved on to his current team, Delhi Capitals.

Must-Win Fixture for DC

Delhi Capitals need to defeat Mumbai Indians on Wednesday to remain in contention for the IPL 2025 playoffs. If DC loses, this will confirm Mumbai Indians’ place in the playoffs as the fourth team. However, if DC win, further matches of both teams will decide their fate this season.

Mumbai Indians are currently fourth in the points table with 14 points from 12 matches, while Delhi Capitals sit at fifth with 13 points.
