Kuldeep Yadav T20I Records at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium
Kuldeep Yadav brings a different angle to India’s spin attack: a left-arm wrist-spinner capable of changing pace, shape and trajectory through the middle overs. His M. Chinnaswamy Stadium men’s T20I record is small but clearly defined, consisting of one completed appearance against Afghanistan in January 2024. He did not bat in that match, but he made an opening-partnership breakthrough with the ball. With India facing West Indies in the fifth T20I on 17 October 2026, his inclusion would add a wicket-taking spin option, subject to selection and the match situation.

Kuldeep’s venue record is one completed T20I: 3 overs, 31 runs and one wicket, with no maidens. His dismissal of Rahmanullah Gurbaz ended a 93-run opening stand, although the spell was expensive at 10.33 an over. The 2022 South Africa fixture was a no-result, but Kuldeep was not listed in India’s playing XI or batting/bowling records.
Batting
Kuldeep Yadav T20I batting stats at Chinnaswamy
Kuldeep has no recorded batting innings in the verified Chinnaswamy men’s T20I sample. In the completed Afghanistan match he was listed among India’s did-not-bat players, so that appearance is not a batting innings and contributes no runs, balls, fours, sixes or not-out status. The June 2022 South Africa no-result does not add a batting entry for him either. His venue batting aggregate is therefore 0 runs from 0 recorded balls, rather than a dismissal or a not-out innings.

Bowling
Kuldeep Yadav T20I bowling record at Chinnaswamy
His only completed venue bowling spell came against Afghanistan on 17 January 2024: 3 overs, 0 maidens, 31 runs and 1 wicket. The wicket was Rahmanullah Gurbaz, caught by Washington Sundar at 10.6 after Kuldeep’s wrong’un invited a lofted drive over cover. That breakthrough stopped a 93-run opening partnership, but the overall economy rate was 10.33, so it was a useful wicket-taking contribution rather than a dominant spell. No 2022 no-result bowling figures belong to Kuldeep.

Verified Kuldeep Yadav T20Is at Chinnaswamy
One verified completed men’s T20I appearance is recorded at the venue, against Afghanistan on 17 January 2024. The 19 June 2022 South Africa match was a no-result, but Kuldeep did not appear in the scorecard’s India batting or bowling entries, so it is not counted as an appearance for his individual record.

PitchVaani perspective
What Kuldeep Yadav’s venue record tells us
The evidence points to a specialist middle-overs role rather than a batting contribution. Kuldeep’s Chinnaswamy sample is too small to support broad venue claims, but his one wicket came from using variation to break a substantial opening stand. The counterpoint is equally important: three overs cost 31, and Afghanistan still reached 212/6. His value for Bengaluru therefore depends on whether India want wrist-spin attacking options and how the match-up, conditions and required overs develop.

Why this contribution mattered
Kuldeep dismissed Rahmanullah Gurbaz to break Afghanistan’s 93-run opening stand. His spell finished at 1/31 from three overs in a match tied at 212 before India won the second Super Over.
A useful breakthrough, but an economy rate of 10.33 shows the spell did not shut down the scoring.
