Shane Warne believes Kuldeep can challenge Yasir Shah as world's best leg-spinner

The Indian wrist spinner has claimed seven wickets in the Australia series which included a match turning hat-trick in the second ODI in Kolkata. The 22-year-old was excellent when it came to reading his opposition and threatened the stumps as much as possible. In his debut Test, Kuldeep deceived the Australian teams with his clever variations and picked up four wickets in the match that earned him a lot of plaudits. Now, his idol and the finest exponent of wrist spin bowling, Shane Warne sees everything in him to be the best leg-spinner of the current era.

"Was a pleasure to meet young Kuldeep when I was last in India. I really enjoy him bowl and cause confusion even against Oz," was another of Warne's tweets.

"If you see the first wicket, it was not a Chinaman, it was a flipper that I learnt from Warne. It's fun to learn from him and then dismiss batsmen from his own country. Warne is my idol and I have followed him since childhood, even now I watch his videos," Kuldeep had said. 

"Chinaman is difficult because not many bowlers do it but it came naturally to me when I started playing cricket. It needs a lot of work and training. It's more or less like that of a leg-spinner, the only difference is of the right hand and left hand."
