6 Player Battles to look forward during India vs England ODI and T20 Series

Joe Root vs Yuzvendra Chahal

Can Root tackle India's young Leggie?

The biggest success story for India in the last 12 months has been the extraordinary success rate achieved by the two wrist spinners - Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal. Not only did the two spinners demonstrate their profess in the subcontinent, but also destroyed the South African batting order in their own backyard. Chahal, in particular, has been highly economical and will be looking to continue his form in England as well.

The toughest job for the young leggie in England will be to control the scoring rate in the middle over and put break on England premier batsman, Joe Root. Root is one of those few players from England who is an equally good player of pace and spin, and has scored runs against the best spinners in the world at a healthy average. Chahal will be looking to stop Root's juggernaut run against spin, and dismantle his flow during the middle overs.
