Rahul Chahar’s Impressive Debut Creates Dilemma Over Leg-Spin Options

At the moment, India will be very lucky to have two world-class leg-spin options in Rahul Chahar and Yuzvendra Chahal. The latter being the senior among the two has recently found form against Sri Lanka and he looks well on the track for a spot in the Indian team in the T20 Worldcup. However, with Rahul Chahar bowling so well, India might face a big dilemma of picking just one leg spinner for the T20 Worldcup squad.

Rahul Chahar returned with figures of 3 for 54 in the 10 overs on his debut and got rid of the main wicket, Avishka Fernando, despite India losing the game.
