The leggie will be another member of the squad playing his first series in England. Ranked No. 3 in the list of world's best T20 bowlers, Chahal will be keen on rising up the ladder in the ODI rankings as well.

His leg-spin will come in handy for India during the middle overs to break partnerships and choke the run flow.

A solid performance from the youngster in this series could guarantee him a spot in the World Cup squad.


#9 Kuldeep Yadav

Kuldeep will look to out-spin the English batters.

Assisting Chahal in the spin department will be left-arm spinner Kuldeep Yadav, who could prove to be the X-factor on this tour. India have taken a massive gamble to go into the series with both spinners on their first tours, but Kuldeep and Chahal rank among the best in the world.

Kuldeep's variations could make life extremely difficult for the Englishmen, who are not the best at playing spin. Working in tandem with Chahal, Kuldeep has every chance of making it a tournament to remember, not because of the pacers, but because of the high-quality spin-bowling.
