The last few years have been sensational for Yuzvendra Chahal and Kuldeep Yadav. They have outsmarted top-class batting lineups to help India lift the trophies. The duo got a great understanding and also knows their strengths to make things fall in the place for the Virat Kohli-led Indian side.
The introduction of Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal into India’s playing XI after the2017 Champions Trophy in England made a dramatic impact on the team’s results. The Indian team management is continuing with the duo, who are going to be key for Indian National Cricket Team in ICC World Cup 2019.
Opposition can’t pick their spin – Virat Kohli
Speaking of the importance of wrist spinners, Virat Kohli quoted that the wrist spinners in the modern-day world are pretty important for the team. Especially, when the batsman gets going, he feels that Wrist spinners can do the trick with their mastery.
Further, he highlighted the fact that the opposition will find it difficult to face them, as it isn’t a bilateral series to work on certain aspects to play them better. Virat Kohli believes that the Wristy duo will help the team in various ways.
“Of course, it’s going to be our main strength (the wrist-spin duo of Kuldeep and Chahal). We are going to play one team at one time. It’s not like a bilateral series where they can figure the variations out and come back in the next game. We are playing a different team every game,” Kohli told India Today.
Wrist Spinners takes wickets in the middle overs – Virat Kohli
And also, the Indian skipper quoted that the presence of Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal will fetch wickets in the middle overs as well. Interestingly, he pointed out that India always lacked middle-overs rhythm rather than bowling at death overs.
Well, it would be interesting to see whether India can find both the spinners in the playing XI. They need to look after the team balance in order to go for the duo in the playing XI. All in all, things will be known when India takes the field in ICC World Cup 2019.
