Kohli's use of Kuldeep in the middle overs

[vvvslaxman]

Wasn't it logical of Kohli persisting with Kuldeep when they kept attacking?  I wish they had reserved a few overs for the back end and used Chahal before.  By the time Kuldeep got the hang of the pitch (which was slowing down) he was running out of overs. Chahal bowling end overs ruined the momentum for us. Besides shami's 35 runs in his last 2 overs, Chahal's overs in death cost us badly. Hope Kohli rotates the bowlers better. Wish we had Bhuvi instead of Jadhav. His knuckle balls would have been super effective on this pitch. Shami could have bowled out in the middle overs. If India see such a flat deck again they better go in with Bhuvi instead of Chahal.

So whom they should be bowling?Also why it is mandatory to have both kuldeep and Chahal in every match, especially on a belter of a surface against this batting line and with a very short boundary on one side. Bk with his knuckle balls would have been a better option. Also I feel in spinners role in this world cup is over rated. Bowlers who bowls cutters are more difficult to play than spinners.
