The Ghaziabad born pacer has 109 First Class wickets, 31 List A wickets & 16 T20 wickets to his name. Tyagi made his First Class debut against Orissa where he produced bowling figures of 6/46 & 4/46 in a winning cause for Uttar Pradesh. Interestingly Sudeep Tyagi is the first ever bowler and still the only bowler to bowl out AB de Villiers off the first ball of his innings.
I have achieved what is every player’s dream to represent the country and wearing the Indian flag is a dream I lived. I want to thank MS Dhoni under whom I played my first ODI. I want to thank my role models Mohammad Kaif, RP Singh and Suresh Raina. It is very difficult to do this but to move ahead we must let go.

My dream team will feature Marcus Trescothick and Anil Kumble
