India vs Australia 2017: India's predicted playing XI for fourth ODI

Spinners

Kuldeep has been a revelation so far

The biggest positive for India from the ongoing series has been the performance of the two wrist spinners. While India aren't always known for keeping up with the trend, by picking a leg-spinner and a chinaman, they have ensured that they stay ahead of the curve. Kuldeep Yadav, in particular, has been thoroughly impressive as the batsmen haven't always been able to pick him. Not only has he picked up wickets, but it has been big wickets at crucial times as well. Unfortunately, he has fallen prey to one of the unfortunate side-effects of being a wrist spinners, the number of runs that you sometimes go for.

One player who has managed to seemingly make a mockery of that on a consistent basis has been Yuzvendra Chahal. Known for being economical, despite being a leg-spinner, the RCB star has managed to do his job incredibly effectively. What he has done, on a consistent basis, is pick up wickets, especially that of the dangerous Maxwell in all three matches so far. And that might just be enough to ensure that he keeps his place ahead of Axar Patel for the fourth ODI.
