Five strategical tweaks India should make in the 2nd ODI against the Windies

#3 Kuldeep Yadav in the playing eleven

India struggled in the middle-overs with Kuldeep's absence

The Indian team management's decision to drop the in-form spinner Kuldeep Yadav in the first One-Day against the Windies has backfired badly. The Indians conceded more than 300 runs with all the three fast bowlers failing to impress. Chahal was also left wanting for a spinning partner during most of the middle-overs.

India should not tinker too much with the settled spin-duo as one complements the other. India can bring in Kuldeep Yadav in the place of rookie Khaleel Ahmed as his probability of travelling to England for the World Cup is very slim.

Had Kuldeep been there in the playing 11, India could have restricted Hetmyer's middle-over onslaught. The 23-year-old has done well in all the formats in the past two years. The left-arm wrist spinner was the leading wicket-taker in the recently concluded Asia Cup as he took 10 wickets in the series helping India to clinch the trophy.

He is also a capable lower-order batsman as he had scored hundreds in the first-class games.
