Yuzvendra Chahal showcased why he is billed one of the best wrist spinners of world cricket with his consistency in the 2019 World Cup. Chahal scalped 12 wickets in the pace-friendly English conditions to finish as the third highest wicket-taker for India.

The Haryana-born spinner picked a 4-wicket haul on his World Cup debut against South Africa. Barring the games against England and New Zealand, Chahal performed well in most matches


Kuldeep Yadav - 4/10

Yuzvendra Chahal's spin partner Kuldeep Yadav did not have a World Cup campaign as good as Chahal. Kuldeep performed below-par in this tournament. The left-arm chinaman bowler picked up just 6 wickets in 7 matches of the 2019 World Cup.

Except the fixtures versus Pakistan and South Africa, Kuldeep failed to trouble the opposition batsmen. Perhaps, the dismal IPL season before the World Cup may have dipped his confidence levels but Virat Kohli would be extremely disappointed with the way Kuldeep played in this World Cup.
