if we had to pick one spinner between Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal

For ODIs (and add T20s if you want that too, but mainly for ODIs):

If for whatever reason team management has to pick ONLY one legspinner - then who is higher in the pecking order and why? Is it due to better bowling abilities? (or fielding? YC better there?)

Or do you play both wrist-spinners in 11 ahead of finger spinners (Axar Patel, Jaddu, Washington Sundar...)

Kuldeep has a lot of weapons but he is very inconsistent with it. Chahal even though limited weapons is a smarter bowler and has more control.

 

In cricket just like in batting, you can have all the shots but person with the better temperament and shot selection usually prevails over one who looks has more shots. Similarly at this time, Chahal is better untill Kuldeep, who has a lot more weapons, finds control and consistency in his bowling.

Exactly that’s why Chahal for LOIs is a no brainer 

 

but you you need those variations and turn the ball so Kuldeep over Chahal for tests because Chahal is not a huge turner of the ball or neither is he the Kumble type flipper type leg spinner .

dont think Kuldeep has any more weapons than Chahal. Both bowl leg breaks though both are not big turners and both have googlies. Just that kuldeep does it with his left hand.

Neither is Kuldeep a big turner of the ball nor he has anymore variations than what Chahal has.  It is just a perception just because he is a left arm leg spinner.

He has a flipper and googly from what I have seen...he can produce wicket taking deliveries...not saying Chahal is a 100% defensive bowler but Chahal relies

more on batsman’s mistakes than the magical

delivery....Chahal in Odis is what Jadeja is in tests.

Wrist spinners take longer to develop and find their length. Kuldeep imparts a lot of revs and gets good drift and turn. The guile will develop with match experience. 

yes and that is why he  needs to play more FC matches right now to polish his skills.

Not really, Chahal operates according to the pitch.  he adjusts well and he too has googly and flipper.
