Manchester, United Kingdom, June 19, 2019 Harbhajan Singh has hailed wrist spinners Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal for their key role in India\u2019s recent one-day successes, saying the pair should be fixtures for the rest of the World Cup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wrist spinners generally get more turn than finger spinners, with left-armer Yadav striking twice in India\u2019s 89-run hammering of arch-rivals Pakistan in Manchester on Sunday to prove his worth on English pitches that often favour the quicks at this stage of the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Chahal\u2019s leg-spinners did the damage in India\u2019s first World Cup outing against South Africa, with the bowler returning figures of 4-51.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Calls were made to replace Yadav with paceman Mohammed Shami against Pakistan but former India off-spinner Harbhajan said the team should stick with the spin twins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI would like to see them playing together, because none of the other teams have got two spinners and they don\u2019t have the habit of playing spin in the middle overs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt has worked for India to play two spinners, even in English conditions, because they are wrist spinners. If India are thinking about their best XI then these two will feature in all the games.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHe has definitely got the capabilities and the talent to be there for a long period of time,\u201d said the 38-year-old Harbhajan, who last played for India in a 2016 Twenty20 match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c Ravi Shastri said he is our number one bowler. So it\u2019s good that the team is backing him,\u201d said Harbhajan, one of India\u2019s finest off-spinners, who took 417 wickets in 103 Tests and 269 wickets in 236 ODIs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
