South Africa vs India 2018: 5 takeaways from the first ODI

#3 The Spin Twins are future of India

The duo shared 5 wickets between them

Few eyebrows were raised when Kohli announced that both spinners were playing in the match. The pitches in South Africa are usually pace-friendly and Shami would have been the logical option to partner Bhuvi and Bumrah.

Although the wicket in Kingsmead was expected to support more spin than pace, no one expected both of them to play in the match but they proved everyone wrong. 5 wickets in 20 overs at just 4 runs an over, that also on a South African pitch - that's how far these two have come ever since their debuts last year.

On the day where both the fast bowlers were having a rare odd day, the young spinners were making a statement of their own. This performance has assured that Chahal and Kuldeep are the future of spin bowling in India in limited overs format.
