Yuzvendra Chahal and Kuldeep Yadav will be looking to make their mark as India's spin duo in the upcoming ODI series against Sri Lanka starting July 18. Former India cricketers VVS Laxman and Irfan Pathan shared their thoughts on Chahal and Yadav ahead of the SL tour, during a show.
Speaking exclusively on Star Sports' Show Game Plan, former Team India batsman VVS Laxman backs the spinner-duo of Kuldeep Yadav & Yuzvendra Chahal ahead of India’s tour of Sri Lanka, "I would like to see them (Kuldeep Yadav & Yuzvendra Chahal) play in three ODIs because there are six spinners as you rightly mentioned. I think in ODIs, each bowler will get to play 10 overs. So, the more overs they bowl, the more success they have, they will get back the confidence – especially Kuldeep Yadav. Yuzvendra Chahal is a successful and experienced bowler, he is high on confidence and a very important member, keeping in mind the T20 World Cup. I think Kuldeep requires to get his confidence back."
