Hyderabad, Jan 24: Indian skipper Rohit Sharma on Wednesday admitted that the team management had a tough time making the third spinner choice between Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav for the opening Test against England but hinted that the former might just have made the final cut.
Behind Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja, India are primed to pick a third spinner for the first Test against England, starting here from Thursday.
“If the wicket has bounce or if it doesn’t have bounce, he (Kuldeep) still is a factor in those types of conditions because he’s got superb variations. Obviously, he is a very mature bowler now from what he was a few years back,” Rohit said in the pre-match press conference.“He’s not played a lot of Test cricket in India because of Ashwin and Jadeja. We’ve seen it in the past as well.” said Rohit. Although Rohit did not give away his final team for the match, he indicated that Axar might just be the one on the final team sheet. (PTI)
