Kuldeep Yadav entered his name in the history books on Wednesday, September 24, by becoming India\u2019s highest wicket-taker in the Asia Cup (ODIs and T20Is combined). Kuldeep needed two wickets in the ongoing Asia Cup 2025 match between India and Bangladesh in Dubai to break Ravindra Jadeja\u2019s record of 29 wickets, and he achieved the objective by dismissing Parvez Hossain Emon and Rishad Hossain.<\/p>\n
While Emon was caught by Abhishek Sharma on the second ball of the seventh over of Bangladesh\u2019s innings, Tilak Varma completed Rishad\u2019s catch on the first ball of the 17th over.<\/p>\n
On the second ball of the 17th over, Kuldeep then breached Tanzim Hasan Sakib\u2019s defence and dismissed him for a golden duck.<\/p>\n
He finished the match with figures of 3 for 18 in four overs.<\/p>\n

The overall record of taking the most wickets in Asia Cup history is in the name of Sri Lanka\u2019s Lasith Malinga. Malinga played 15 matches in the Asia Cup and accounted for the dismissal of 33 batters. Kuldeep Yadav needs to dismiss three more batters in the ongoing tournament to go past Malinga\u2019s tally and take the No. 1 position.<\/p>\n
