4 spinners are needed..!? Rohit was Adamant..!?
He was adamant that there should be 4 spinners in the indian team for the t20 world cup series. Captain rohit sharma explained. 4 spinners Kuldeep Yadav, chahal, Jadeja, and Axar Patel have been included in India's t20 world cup squad. Various parties were questioning the need for 4 spinners for the matches on American and west indies soil. Moreover, there was confusion as to why chahal was selected again in the few weeks after the bcci contract was rejected.
In it, similar bowlers like Axar patel and Jadeja were chosen without off-spinners without understanding why they were criticized. Speaking to the media, indian team captain rohit sharma said that he does not know how the pitch will be in the league matches to be played in America. Also, I think we are playing in different stadiums in the matches that are going tobe played on west indies soil. So I was adamant about having 4 spinners.
Because every match will start from 10 am to 10.30 am. The selection of these 4 spinners also has a technical aspect. I will say it during the world cup series. hardik pandya can bowl including 3 fast bowlers. He will be the 4th fast bowler. This will give a good balance to the indian team. Both Jadeja and Axar patel are not only spinners but also great all-rounders. So the combination of spinners can be decided depending on the opponent. Also, there are chances that both kuldeep yadav and chahal will play together in some matches. We will decide which combination to field on the day after looking at all aspects. We also had a long discussion on whether to go without off-spinners. washington sundar could not play much in the tournament. So the competition is between Ashwin and Axar Patel. So we decided to go with 2 left arm spinners who were in good form. Ashwin also said that it has been a long time since he played in the t20 format.
