T20 WC: Skipper Rohit Specifically Sought Four Spinners In The 15-member Squad
T20 World Cup: The reason the national selection committee ended up picking four spinners in the 15-member Indian squad for the upcoming T20 World Cup in the United States and Caribbean was that skipper Rohit Sharma specifically asked for them.
The Indian squad includes two left-hand orthodox spinners Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel and a left-arm wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav. Leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal is the fourth spinner in the squad. The selection of four spinners for an event to be held in the United States and Caribbean where the pitches are more suited for pace had left many experts baffled. In comparison, the Indian squad has only three pacers -- Jasprit Bumrah, Arshdeep Singh and Mohammed Siraj with Hardik Pandya expected to be available as the fourth pacer.
But on Thursday, Rohit Sharma said he had a specific technical reason and theory for seeking four spinners in the squad and said he would reveal his reasons closer to the tournament.
