Bases India Need To Cover To Win The World Cup

#4 Sixth Bowling Option

Bangladesh v India - ICC Champions Trophy Semi Final

Another thing which has haunted Indians over the years is the sixth bowling option. You cannot expect all your five bowlers to always have an excellent day at the office; you still need a 6th bowling option in case one of your bowlers has taken a beating.

With the middle order problem already at hand, India does not even have an opportunity to go for five bowlers, five batsmen and an all-rounder. They need to have two all-rounders in the team to solve the woes of the team. Now here comes the primary question: who will be the answer to these problems?

India has tried Suresh Raina as their sixth bowling option but that did not work at all. Kedar Jadhav has been injury prone and missed the IPL 2018 due to a hamstring injury. He has, however, been selected for the Asia Cup 2018. Krunal Pandya is another player who is capable of filling the spot. So, again, Virat Kohli and the management need to make a quick call on their sixth bowling option.
