PICS The Hat-Trick Hero Kuldeep Yadav Is The Hot Buzz Of Social Media

You would have to be something special to keep Ravichandran Ashwin out of the side and on Thursday night Kuldeep Yadav proved beyond any doubt that he is just that and more. The left-arm wrist spinner became the third Indian bowler to claim a hat-trick in one-day internationals.

On the receiving end was a hapless Australian team, all at sea against the guile and variety of the young chinaman bowler. India went on to comfortably beat Australia by 50 runs in the 2nd ODI to take a 2-0 lead in the 5-match series. Twitter was abuzz following Kuldeep's heroic performance with former and current Indian cricketers hailing the birth of a new star.
