T20 World Cup: Former New Zealand captain Stephen Fleming has backed India spinner Kuldeep Yadav to be a "wicket-taking flair" in the Super Eight stage of the T20 World Cup on the spinning tracks in the West Indies.

India have so far backed all-rounders Ravindra Jadeja and Axar Patel as the spin duo in the group-stage matches. Axar picked three wickets while Jadeja remained wicketless in New York leg before the match against Canada washed out in Florida.

"Yeah, I think so but they've still got that opportunity now to do both which is good and horses for courses, you can't be so set in one way of playing that you miss the opportunities to take advantage of conditions as you say but yeah, I would think maybe Kuldeep would come in to provide that extra bit of wicket-taking flair if the wickets do provide the turn as they get a little bit more used and you get closer to the end of the tournament," Fleming told exclusively to 'ESPNCricinfo Timeout Show'.
