India's spin twins

There was a time when India relied on the finger spinning options with Ravi Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja featuring in 3 World T20's. Ashwin and Jadeja lacked mystery and power hitters would go berserk against them during the middle overs. To negate this aspect, India have brought in two leg-spinners who are very different in variety and variations. Kuldeep and Chahal have forged a partnership that is consistently helping India in the middle overs.

Kuldeep is a chinaman whose stick delivery is the leg-spin followed by a well-disguised wrong'un. He uses his craft really well and varies the pace and trajectory to flummox the batsman. He has been the go-to bowler in recent times for breaking partnerships. Chahal does a good supporting job by keeping things tight and using his variations keep the batsmen guessing. They both have an economy around 7 in T20 cricket and they serve as partnership breakers.
