ICC Cricket World Cup 2019: 3 reasons why India's 2019 World Cup squad is better than their 2015 squad

#2 Wrist spinners

Kuldeep and Chahal are a treat to watch in 50-over cricket

Wrist-spinners have proved to be the X-factor in limited-overs cricket. While India had capable spinners in the 2015 World Cup in the form of Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja, the duo weren't as attacking as India’s current spin twins of Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal.

Both Ashwin and Jadeja are defensive in their approach and rely on the batsmen making mistakes rather than forcing errors themselves. On the other hand, Kuldeep and Chahal entice batsmen into making mistakes by flighting the ball and deceiving them in the air.

They have numerous variations in their repertoire to bamboozle the batsmen. They are not afraid to toss the ball up and are even prepared to get hit for a few boundaries if it results in wickets further down the line. These two have shepherded many victories for Team India in overseas conditions like South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand and they will be Kohli's go-to options in England.
