2019 World Cup: 3 reasons why India should play both Kuldeep and Chahal in the XI

#2 Applies pressure from both ends

Partnerships are key for not only batsmen but also plays a crucial role for the bowlers as well. Over the years, the likes of Ambrose-Walsh, Wasim-Waqar and McGrath-Warne, to name a few have hunted in pairs to be successful in all forms of the game.

Its very important to keep the runs down from both the ends, which will only result in batsmen playing a rash stroke while trying to up the scoring rate. This gives golden opportunity to pick wickets because a wrist spinner becomes doubly dangerous when the batsmen are looking to play attacking shots.

India can apply pressure from either end if both Yuzvendra Chahal and Kuldeep Yadav play in the XI and bowl in tandem. The middle overs could be very challenging to force the pace for the opposition especially teams like Australia and South Africa who have a clear weakness against wrist spin even in good batting conditions.
