T20 World Cup 2021: Predicting spin attack of top 8 teams in the tournament

1. India

The Virat Kohli-led squad will be considered as one of the strong opponents of the tournament. The team has a lot of options to fall back on and would take the calls taking into consideration the playing conditions and form of the players. About the spinning alternatives, the Indian team has quite a few names on the list. Yuzvendra Chahal and Kuldeep Yadav lead the spin attack of the team in the past before hitting a lean patch.

However, in the Sri Lanka series, the spinners looked in decent form. For the shortest format, it is likely that India might go with the services of Chahal and Ravindra Jadeja. Chahal is India’s leading wicket-taker in the T20I format and has picked up 63 wickets in 49 T20I matches. The leg-spinner has displayed his flair by picking up wickets in the crunch moments.

With Jadeja on the side, the team gets a complete T20 package. He has the immense ability to hit big runs, provide crucial breakthroughs and he is one of the best fielders across formats. With the likes of Rahul Chahar and Kuldeep Yadav, India does not seem to have any issues in their spin attack. The conditions and surface will have the final say on the inclusion of the right pair.
