World Cup 2023: 5 Reasons why India can beat Pakistan
India and Pakistan will clash in the World Cup 2023 in Ahmedabad and we check out the five reasons why Men in Blue are favourites to win the encounter.
4. India has the advantage of variety in spin bowling
The same cannot be said about India, which has some of the best spinners in the business today. Kuldeep Yadav was the Player of the Tournament in Asia Cup 2023. He bowled well and was attacking throughout his spells, which got him wickets.
Ravindra Jadeja was as reliable as ever and when he got help from the surface, posed some questions to the batter. It remains to be seen who else India will pick in the spin department with Axar Patel, Ravi Ashwin, and Washington Sundar vying for the limited spots.
Axar Patel and Ravindra Jadeja are similar bowlers in terms of skills and are more all-rounders than pure spinners. But India has Ravi Ashwin and Washington Sundar bringing in the variety in terms of off-spin, who are potent weapons against left-handers.
This means with Kuldeep Yadav, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, and one of Ravi Ashwin or Washington Sundar, India has the much-needed variety in their spin department. And all of these bowlers are good enough to tackle the Pakistani batters on any surface, even the batting-friendly pitch in Ahmedabad.
