Spinners

Is Axar Patel the new Ravindra Jadeja? Apart from the obvious similarity in bowling styles, Patel is shutting up detractors with every passing game, finishing the previous game with career best figures. His arm balls have been lethal when on point and he is dead accurate wit his lines. Fielding is an added bonus, although his batting could add a few more layers to be sound enough for top-flight cricket.

Yuzvendra Chahal has impressed whenever he has got a chance, however sporadic his appearances may have been. In the Dambulla ODI, he gave the side their first breakthrough, and returned to take another wicket, although he shed more runs than he would have liked to. In his place, Kuldeep Yadav could be tried out, having impressed in the only Test he got to play on Lankan soil.
