India will start its Champions Trophy campaign against Bangladesh in Dubai on 20 February. This time Pakistan has the rights to host the Champions Trophy, but after India refuses to visit Pakistan for security reasons, ICC, PCB and BCCI reached an agreement, under which India will play in Dubai. In such a situation, India has given a chance to five spinners in its team. But former spinner Ashwin feels that the Indian team has taken more spinners according to Dubai Stadium.
Rohit Sharma -led Team India includes Varun Chakraborty, Akshar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav as well as Ravindra Jadeja, Akshar Patel and Washington Sundar. While the team has fast bowling options Mohammed Shami, Arshdeep Singh and Harshit Rana. Ashwin has shown discomfort about five spinners in the Indian team on his YouTube channel Ash.
Ashwin said, “There is a lot of discussion about the selection of Harshit Rana. I still feel that Harshit Rana has some ex factor. But who do not understand that the spinners we are taking to Dubai . I understand five spinners and Yashswi Jaiswal.
On sitting outside Jaiswal, he said, “I am very lucky that I am not in any position. I would have been a coach or a captain, what would I talk to him. I raise the question many times what is your message. What message do you give to the player? ” “I was wondering what would be going on in his mind. What he would think. He must have been happy that I have been a selector in the Champions Trophy team. Suddenly the Champions Trophy is out of the team. It is the same from everyone. , Which has missed. “
Ashwin further said, “According to me, if we do not go with two spinners, then the same is enough. Because what is right now, both left arm spinners, are in good order, with Hardik. So both your left arm spinner He is also going to play two spinners.
Regarding how Varun Chakraborty will get a chance, Ashwin said, “If Varun Chakraborty has to bring you into the team in place of a fast bowler, then you will have to exclude a pacer and Hardik will have to take it as a fast bowler. By dropping a spinner, I believe that there is no controversy about the all-rounder. . “
Ashwin said, “The pair of Varun and Kuldeep is going to be very good. But my question is that in Dubai, are you expecting that the ball will rotate. Chasing the target in ILT20, the team has chased 180. The whole grass was not roaming so much. Ashwin further said, “My thoughts I have five spinners, one is enough here, but two are quite high.” Ashwin further said that Kuldeep is confirmed, so only two spinners are quite high.
