5 Spinners In Race To Make It In World Cup

Yuzvendra Chahal

IPL’s highest wicket-taker, Yuzvendra Chahal has proved his worth many times. While Ravindra Jadeja appears to be the obvious choice inclusion of a leg-spinner can strengthen the spin department and Chahal would be a good pick.

The chess-master Chahal will have a slight edge with his record in the last ICC world cup, where he scalped 12 wickets in the last 8 matches he played.

Ravindra Jadeja

Whenever you made a list of fine ODI players CSK’s southpaw Ravindra Jadeja will always top the list. With his all-round abilities Jadeja will be a go-throw option for skipper Rohit Sharma. Jadeja’s accuracy and good economy will seal his spot as the frontline spinner for the World Cup.

Ravindra Jadeja’s international experience and his three-dimensional ability in the field make him a perfect choice for the home tournament.

Kuldeep Yadav

Nothing is more satisfying for Indian cricket fans to watch KUL-CHA (Kuldeep & Chahal) playing again. The conditions in India might favor the Chinaman Kuldeep Yadav to make his presence countable.

Recently in an interview, former cricketer turned commentator Sanjay Manjrekar, suggest that Kuldeep Yadav can prove dangerous in 50-over cricket, especially in subcontinent conditions.

Axar Patel

Axar Patel’s last few months in international cricket seem to be his golden time as the all-rounder is currently doing very well in all three formats of the game. Due to his ability to bat solidly down the order and bowling in critical situations like powerplays and death over, made this Gujrat-born left-arm spinner can seal the spotlight on his day.

Axar Patel’s impressive economy (4.52) and his experience of playing in India will support his claim in the team and at the same time can also play a handy knock for the team.

Ravi Bishnoi

Rajasthan’s leggie Ravi Bishnoi made his ODI debut last year now he didn’t get any opportunity. But with the perfect blend of loopy googlies and orthodox leg spin, India may consider Bishnoi as their backup option.
