Kuldeep Yadav vs Ashwin Ravichandran in ODIs

[sarcastic]

Both are similar bowlers with respect to how they turn the ball. Kuldeep bowls Chinaman and Ashwin bows Offspin.

But boy, I must say that Kuldeep is far more attacking and wicket-taking in nature as compared to Ashwin who is more of a containing bowler in ODIs. 

Despite the fact that Ashwin is far more experienced and successful in tests and Kuldeep seeming to leak runs, I will prefer the Kuldeep over Ashwin in an ODI starting XI.

Ashwin also brought a feeling of change in 2011, when Bhajji was darting. He played crucial role in matches against WI and Australia in WC2011. I just hope Kuldeep carries on with good confidence and intent and doesn't follow the wrong pathway of containing rather than attacking.

all our spinners start out well and then turn into darters or containers.

Kuldeep should play every match from now on. He needs to get experience before WC all he can, although he should have been in squad from last 2 years.

We need >1.5 wic/match kind of spinner

[Sandeep99]

We need to remember that Ashwin was bowling similar to Kuldeep during early part of his career. However, the most important difference between them is one of them is a finger spinner and the other is wrist spinner. Kuldeep can extract turn from unhelpful surfaces but Ashwin needs the help from surface to turn. Ashwin is also missing the basic guile these days. He's not even bowing 6 consistent good length balls these days. Time's up I'm afraid.

[Sandeep99]

I'd go on and play Kuldeep and Chahal as the two spinners. Both are wicket takers. Ashwin and Jadeja were more suited to Dhoni's style where he looked for batsman to make mistakes. Kuldeep and Chahal will suit Kohli, considering he's looking for break throughs.

Let Kuldeep play and bowl well in 25-30 ODIs and then we can compare.

I think captains need to play a role in guiding spinners. They should be encouraged to pick wickets rather then contain esp in odi. Defensive captains are detrimental for spinners. 

[King Tendulkar]

Wrist spinners do well in limited over formats 

 

they get turn and when playing big shots they grab wickets due to this . Can leak runs but also grab vital wickets

What if, K Yadav was playing against Pakistan in final of ICc trophy instead of Ashloose.

The difference is controlling the controllable n decision making, you cannot have a perfect game but u can plan well, where we failed ,Shami, K Yadav n story would be different.

Just watched kuldeep's wickets against Windies, looks good. Wrist spinners will go for few runs but will get u breakthroughs more often then not.

Kuldeep has the novelty factor, but ultimately is a wrist spinner who brings the ball into the right-handers.

 

Chahal is quality, and quite under-rated.

Naah!  Kuldeep > Chahal.  But both should compete for a place in team. Win-Win for India.  Not in favour of playing both in eleven.

Based on what?  Because you enjoy how the word "chinaman" rolls off the tongue?  

 

Chahal > Kuldeep.  Put that in your pollack and smoke it.  :P

Exactly chahal has great first class record as well. Surprised he is not even picked after the match against England last year. Do our selectors have memory loss ?
