5 reasons why Kuldeep Yadav can be the face of Indian spin bowling across formats

#4 Ravi Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja struggling in limited overs cricket

Both Ashwin and Jadeja struggled throughout the ICC Champions Trophy in England

Who are the faces of the Indian spin attack at the moment? Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja, right? Right. To be the next face, Kuldeep has to dismantle these two from their positions. Ashwin and Jadeja, though, seem to be making his job much easier.

Both Ashwin and Jadeja struggled throughout the ICC Champions Trophy in England (not that the pitches weren’t too bad for spin bowling). In the subsequent West Indies tour as well, they failed to trouble the batsmen whatsoever while Kuldeep stole the show.

Ashwin, in particular, has been struggling for quite some time now. Since the 2015 World Cup, his performance graph has been going down, which could be attributed to the fact that he has played very few ODIs. And if he does not pull up his socks in the near future, Kuldeep might just take his place.
