How would the Indian playing XI look like, in the upcoming T20 World Cup? That is the biggest question one and all would have in their minds. Suryakumar Yadav is leading the strongest team in competition and there is a problem of plenty in every area. There is a squad full of exceptional batters, bowlers, and also all-rounders.
Ashwin solves spinner question for T20 World Cup
But then, former India bowler R Ashwin has come up with perfect view. The legend went on to say, that the team should play with one main spinner and then spin all-rounders can be included in the team, to keep batting depth and flexibility in mind. In his Youtube channel, Ashwin also spoke about how two spinners could pose problems.
“If you are playing two spinners, Kuldeep and Varun, then either of them have to be your number eight. So it is difficult to play two spinners. You can have them in the squad. But then what about the spin batter you want in Axar, Jadeja, or Sundar. You can have two spinners, but one has to be someone who can bat. So India has to decide where to go. I think you can take only one specialist spinner.”
Varun Chakravarthy should not be exposed
Ashwin specifically spoke about Varun Chakravarthy, and how he should not be exposed. “And I am still saying the lesser you expose Varun, the better. You have to use him properly. The novelty factor has to stay. I also liked how they rested him now too and dealt with it.”
Not just that. In his opinion, Abhishek Sharma should be asked to focus more on his bowling as well. “Abhishek has skill as a bowler. He has more variety as well. He has huge potential. But a lot of batters start working less on their bowling because it affects the volume of their batting. But I hope that does not happen.”
“Bowling an over or two in T20s is different from bowling in ODIs. I hope Abhishek takes his bowling seriously because he can contribute and be a good spin-bowling all-rounder for India in the future.”
