5 takeaways for India from the India-Australia series

#3 Wrist spinners

Chahal and Kuldeep have done really well both together and individually.

One of the big talking points in limited-overs cricket has been wrist-spin and it’s simply because even if wrist-spinners go for runs they come back and pick wickets. And India played both their wrist-spinners (Chahal and Kuldeep) in the first three games and gave a break to each of them in the last two.

These spinners have stepped up and have the numbers to back them as well. With 7 and 6 wickets respectively in 4 games each, Kuldeep and Chahal have invariably brought India back in the game when it was running away.

Picking up wickets at regular intervals, and also offering some control in the middle overs, the wrist-spinners played a big part in this series. Thus, they are one of the biggest positives for India in this series.
