Former India team opener Gautam Gambhir has advocated the charismatic off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin to be included in the Indian team for the World Cup-2020. Gambhir believes that finger spinners like Ashwin can prove to be more effective than wrist spinners in England conditions. Gambhir, who was a member of the Indian team that won the World Cup in 2011, has recently retired from cricket. Significantly, Ashwin is currently out of the Indian team of short format. He played the last ODI for India in July 2017. After this, wrist spinners Yuzvendra Chahal and Kuldeep Yadav became the main spinners of India in the limited overs format. Both of them are likely to be a part of the Indian team in the World Cup 2019.c
Left-arm leg-spinner Ravindra Jadeja with Ashwin was also ruled out of the short-form Indian team, but Jadeja was able to make a comeback. Both wrist spinners (Kuldeep and Chahal) have done well in the last one year but he still believes that Ashwin is the bowler whose name we should consider.He thinks if we want to start with a spinner (who has been doing beautiful in T20) then we should go with a bowler taking a wicket, which Ashwin is. We should be given a chance in to him in this situation. He has done well recently with the red ball. Best Fantasy App.
A qualified spinner is always of high order whether it is wrist spinner or fingers. We should not make a difference that there is a wrist spinner in the team and hence there is no place for finger spinners. He believes that Ravichandran Ashwin is a player whose name should be considered because we have to take into account the circumstances of England at that time of the year.
The wicket can be flat and in such a situation the finger spinner can prove to be effective. Off-spinner Ashwin could prove very useful for the team. It is believed that the team will have two wrist spinners Chahal and Kuldeep Yadav and Ravindra Jadeja can be made part of the team as an off-spinner. Although Shreyas Gopal’s strike rate, bowling average and economy rate are quite good, he still lags behind in terms of experience.Ashwin played the last limited overs match for India in July 2017. He and Ravindra Jadeja were then ignored for the limited overs format. He was replaced by wrist spinners Yuzvendra Chahal and Kuldeep Yadav. Although Jadeja has made a comeback, Ashwin has not been able to do so yet.Harbhajan also said that the wicket-taking bowler will always remain in the game whether it is Ashwin, Chahal or Kuldeep.
We are excited to see the team management which bowler should get a chance in the team. Management probably wants to see what suits them. We are happy to see Chahal in the team and hope that Kuldeep also comes back soon. They two are the best options.
The selectors are conducting several experiments before the T20 World Cup in Australia next year. While Kuldeep was not selected in the squad for the last three T20 matches, Chahal returned against Bangladesh this month. Chahal did not play in the series against West Indies and South Africa.Sportzax.com.
