120 The number of innings Kuldeep Yadav needed to reach his 200th ODI wicket — in Guwahati against the West Indies on 30 September 2026. This makes him the third-quickest to reach this milestone — in fewer innings in ODI cricket among the 15 spin bowlers with 200 or more wickets. Kuldeep, meanwhile, became the first left-arm wrist spinner to achieve this milestone in this format, way ahead of the next best, Brad Hogg of Australia. The second table provides the details.
