Does India have the spin attack for 15th to do the job for the team?

we will probably play 3 spinners but Kuldeep basically sucks now,his form has fallen alarmingly.

naah

 

Pak can't play him. SENA teams yes, especially NZ but not Pak.

I am thinking Sundar will replace Rinku on Sunday and might get a game today as well.

 

Let me give you the logic for this:

 

It is RPS so you need decent amount of spin overs.

 

You could replace Arshdeep with Kuldeep and go with the AC lineup. 

 

But here is where the TM might differ.

 

In all three AC matches, Farhan had decent knocks and gave them good PPs.

 

Farhan also took a liking to Bumrah.

 

Considering it is RPS, the PP might determine the game.

 

Farhan does have a weakness towards left arm pace so Arshdeep is a good match up in PP.

 

Considering the slow nature and big boundaries, Sundar can do a decent holding job, if not the wicket taking of Kuldeep.

 

Rinku is anyways weak vs spin.

 

Sundar is also a decent bat so you will still have batting till 8.

 

Also frees up overs for Bumrah at the death.

 

TLDR version: Use Arshdeep to get the openers out in PP and then use spin choke in the middle overs and Bumrah at death. Alternative is the AC lineup with Bumrah as sole pacer but fear is they might get too far ahead in the PP before Kuldeep does damage control in middle overs. Expect Rinku to be back for Netherlands. This is similar to India using Ashwin for the first 2023 WC match vs Aus.

if its a turning track they will drop Arshdeep,they have dropped him in the past with Pandya as the opening bowler.

Yeah in AC but they might keep him just to get more PP overs.

India team that won the world cup had basically same line up. We have now Rinku in place of Jadeja which actually is one bowler short

 

side by side 2024 2026

 

Kohli / Ishan

Rohit/ Abhishek

Pant / Tilak

Sky / Sky

Pandya / Pandya

Dube / Dube

Jadeja / Rinku

Axar / Axar

Bumrah / Bumrah

Arshdeep / Arshdeep

Kuldeep / Varun


so basically if you see the 2024 final winning squad they had 5 genuine bowlers plus Dube Pandya. Now we have one less. If Sundar replaces Rinku suddenly we have 5 genuine options without much weakening the batting.

Fattu against trolling.

 

They've been getting mercilessly trolled for many years and been waiting for that one elusive win to get back at us.
