WATCH : The Brilliance of MS Dhoni and Kuldeep Yadav
Judging by the way he has started his international career, Kuldeep Yadav will have a long and fruitful career for his national side.
His spectacular Test debut versus Australia earlier in the summer showed what a special talent this boy really is. And given the fact that Ashwin has proved to be ineffective as a limited overs bowler, India might consider giving Kuldeep an extended run in the side.
He made his ODI debut against the West Indies in the ongoing series and drew praise for his good bowling. But his dismissal of Jason Holder during the second match was what really caught the eye.

Holder was deceived in the air as he came down the track to Yadav. He missed and then MS Dhoni took over. Dhoni almost taunted Holder to get back into the crease, before knocking the stumps over and completing a very cool stumping.
Earlier in the day, Ajinkya Rahane scored his third ODI century as he tried to stake his claim in the ODI team. The team management will be looking an incorporating Rahane in the side, given that the likes of Yuvraj Singh have proved to be very inconsistent lately.
With the 2019 World Cup in sight, India should start building their side towards that tournament. And the likes of Kuldeep Yadav and Ajinkya Rahane should definitely be in the mix.
