India’s spin bowlers, Varun Chakaravarthy, Kuldeep Yadav, and vice-captain Axar Patel, have impressed ahead of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup. Anil Kumble, former India captain, believes they are well-prepared for the tournament, even with the expected dew factor during late evening matches.
Kumble expressed confidence in the spinners’ ability to adapt to bowling with a wet ball, a skill crucial in the upcoming World Cup matches. He highlighted Varun Chakaravarthy’s unique grip and pace, suggesting he may not face significant challenges due to dew.
While Varun and Axar are expected to handle the conditions well, Kumble noted that Kuldeep Yadav might find it slightly tougher with a wet ball. However, he emphasized the importance of fielding the strongest playing XI, regardless of external factors like dew.
Kumble also discussed India’s chances of defending their T20 World Cup title, acknowledging the tough task of winning consecutive titles in the T20 format. He expressed confidence in India’s squad and their potential to secure back-to-back victories, emphasizing the team’s strength and form.
