Kuldeep Yadav is renowned for his artistry and magic with the ball in hand for Team India and in the Indian Premier League (IPL) for Delhi Capitals (DC). But the cricketer goes beyond the spin from his flexible wrists and fingers as he unveiled his great painting skills via a portrait of Lord Ram and Lord Hanuman. 

The Indian wrist-spinner showed off the paintings on his social media feed, which have since gone viral on Twitter with fans lauding the player for showcasing a different side of himself. The two paintings have especially warmed the hearts of all the believers and those inclined towards faith and godliness.

The wristspinner seemingly made the painting after the third and final T20I of the series against Afghanistan, which he played having missed the first two matches of the series in Mohali and Indore. He was one of the heroes of India clinching the thriller in Bangalore with a spell of 1/31 off his 3 overs.

Kuldeep curiously got benched in preference of younger wrist-spinner Ravi Bishnoi for the first two matches, raising doubts if he is behind Bishnoi in the Indian pecking order and hierarchy of wrist-spinners heading into the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 in June.

It appears increasingly likely that only one of the two wrist spinners will be making the Indian playing XI during the biannual tournament, with coach Rahul Dravid and skipper Rohit Sharma opting for a balance that allows them to field three utility allrounders from 6-8.

With premier allrounder, Hardik Pandya set to come and the trio of spin allrounders Axar Patel, Washington Sundar, and Ravindra Jadeja fighting for the next two slots, the team management could be in for a serious headache in picking one of Kuldeep and Bishnoi as the third spinners for pitches in the Caribbean & USA.
