Former India player turned commentator Aakash Chopra has named five Japanese players to watch out for in the one-off T20I against India. The match is slated to be played on Tuesday, September 22, at the Sano International Cricket Ground.

Speaking in a video on his YouTube channel (Aakash Chopra), he said: “Kendel Kadowaki-Fleming is a left-handed batter who also bowls right-arm off-spin. He is a decent batter and is known for his hitting skills. He usually bats at No. 3 or somewhere in the top three, so keep an eye on this player. He could cause a few problems for the opposition. The second player is Declan Suzuki-McComb. He is a left-handed batter and a right-arm medium-pace bowler. He is known for his big-hitting ability and is a good batter. He usually bats lower down the order.”

“Charlie Hara-Hinze is another left-handed batter who bowls slow left-arm orthodox spin. He has an excellent economy rate of just 4.97 in T20Is. He has done very well in 38 T20Is and is capable of bowling incredibly well in different conditions. With his left-arm spin, he will look to trap the batters,” he again added.

“Makoto Taniyama has picked up 43 wickets in 41 matches. He also has a good economy rate of around 5.30. You can expect to see some leg-spin bowling from Taniyama. Last but not least, Lachlan Yamamoto-Lake is Japan’s second-best batter after their captain, Kadowaki-Fleming. He usually plays as an opener. These are the five Japanese players you need to keep an eye on,” he concluded.
