India's predicted XI for 2019 World Cup

Spinners

The wrist-spinners will be India's trump card

Kuldeep Yadav

The young chinaman bowler is perhaps one of the most difficult bowlers to pick from the hand meaning the batsmen are forced to play him off the pitch.

He has control and confidence and can pick up wickets during the middle stage of the innings which is crucial in controlling the flow of the game.

Yuzvendra Chahal

The leggie is the ideal foil for Yadav as he relies on control, and changes of pace and trajectory to flummox the batsmen. The duo will prove to be quite a handful in England as the surfaces generally do not spin, but then this is where wrist spinners come in handy as they have the ability to extract assistance from any surface.
