The Realist Posted March 28, 2021 Posted March 28, 2021 Spinning department looks like a major weakness. Not impressed with the Chahals, Yadavs & bits n pieces players tried out. Visibly wilt under any pressure. Maybe its time to go back and give Piyush & Amit a go. Can't be worse than seeing the current lot being smoked for 6s every game. adi B, Old guy and velu 3
bowl_out Posted March 28, 2021 Posted March 28, 2021 Think both of them officially retired.. Time to look at Rahul Chahar, Jalaj Saxena, Ravi Bishnoi more seriously.. Maybe even call back Ravi Ashwin.. He can't be worse than Kuldeep
cowboysfan Posted March 28, 2021 Posted March 28, 2021 this is actually a crisis,,why ashwin is dumped for these fried brain leggies?
IndianRenegade Posted March 28, 2021 Posted March 28, 2021 Ashwin should get a look into, fielding is a issue with him but considering our spinning bench strength now, we might have to take that risk. Rahul chahar also needs to be given a run in ODIs

Ashwin might have improved his skills in red ball cricket but what is the guarantee that even he will not be hit around with a wet ball and just 4 fielders outside the circle.Perhaps it is time to make peace with the fact that for now we cannot field a specialist spinner and rather play an economical pacer like Nattu

Lone Wolf Posted March 29, 2021 Posted March 29, 2021 As for T20 WC SOS to Ashwin immediately. He is expected to do well in IPl again. Chahal's numbers should not be taken seriously in IPl coz only there he seems to do well. Bangalore wicket has also slowed down.. As far as T20 WC 2021 in Aus Finger spinners may get thrashed so Rahul Chahar or Bishnoi should be in pipeline. Selectors need to be clever & go for horses for courses.

Rahul chahar also needs to be given a run in ODIs Fielding is not the only issue with Ashwin in LOIs. There is one more major issue. His lethargic running between the wickets. Which is similar to Inzi bhai (Aloo)..Match will be lost there itself.
Sean Bradley Posted March 29, 2021 Posted March 29, 2021 There were some decent spinners at display in the IPL, Chakravarty is promising, R Chahar should be given chances, Ravi Bishnoi was impressive previous IPL, Markande disappeared in the oblivion, but he was good till the time he was around.
AuxiliA Posted March 29, 2021 Posted March 29, 2021 Why not Ashwin? He is an underrated white ball bowler, in his prime. Can bat a bit too.
rkt.india Posted March 29, 2021 Posted March 29, 2021 No spinner will do much with dew around. You don't need to play for spinners if they are struggling. It's not mandatory.
rollingstoned Posted March 29, 2021 Posted March 29, 2021 Our spin department which looked promising and potent only 2 yrs ago is now an area of big concern. By and large spin has either been just a filler in this loi series or our own have been comfortably outbowled by the opposition. I'm not sure what we can do to fix it other than calling back ashwin and making jadeja and him a thing again in the middle overs. Chahal will still be persisted with imo.
diga Posted March 29, 2021 Posted March 29, 2021 Apart from top class spinner, we also need one of the top-5 to contribute about 3-4 overs of spin. None of them bowl

None of them bowl Rohit gets injured when he bowls, Kohli gave up on it once he got thrashed,Dhawan practiced thigh slapping when he should have been bowling ,Pant and Rahul are keepers so there's no solution with the current lot. I thought Kohli could develop Sundar as an opening option for RCB and see if it can work for India but the guy as usual looks to further his own interests.
mani sha Posted March 29, 2021 Posted March 29, 2021 Stop panicking guys game has changed in odi . India always will produce quality spinners . There is always a Bhajji or a kumble about to be discovered . given how t20 amd odi rules have changed , don’t expect spinners to have big role . Fast legspinners and fast finger spinners with batting abilities like sundar and Jadeja and pandya will be the need . worry in three years when peak ashwin is gone . Hoping that we would find a decent off spinner for tests
