He was signed by the Delhi Capitals for the Indian Premier League. [2] He was a part of the Indian squads which won the 2018 Asia Cup and the 2023 Asia Cup.
He has played for the Indian Under-19 cricket team and played in the 2014 Under-19 Cricket World Cup. [3] On 18 December 2019, against the West Indies, he became the first bowler for India to take two hat-tricks in international cricket.

Yadav was born in Unnao but raised in Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh, the son of a brick kiln owner. [6] In an interview, he revealed that it was his father who wanted him to continue playing cricket and even took him to a coach (Kapil Pandey). Inspired by bowling greats Wasim Akram and Zaheer Khan, he wanted to become a left-arm seamer. However, given his slight build, his coach insisted on him becoming a wrist-spin bowler as he was impressed with the turn and variations he was providing unknowingly at the trials. Since then, he started following and watching videos of Shane Warne's bowling and made him his role model.
"I keep watching videos of Warne. His grip of the ball, length of deliveries and use of the crease are unbeatable. I try to learn from the footage"

In 2023 Cricket World Cup, Kuldeep Yadav was on the money from the very first match against Australia, picking up 2 wickets for just 42 runs. [40] He bowled even better against Pakistan, taking 2 wickets for 35 runs. [41] He enjoyed less success against Bangladesh, getting just 1 wicket for 47 runs.
