On the other hand, the likes of Kuldeep Yadav, Yuzvendra Chahal, Ravindra Jadeja, Krunal Pandya, Washington Sundar are the spinners available for the tournament.

No surprises then that the management will have a tough time in picking the final bowling lineup. Well, former India opener Gautam Gambhir might have made the team-management’s task a bit easier by revealing his preferred bowling attack for the T20 World Cup.
