Former India opener Gautam Gambhir has shared that Team India’s spinners’ inability to claim wickets as their biggest concern heading into the business end of the ongoing T20 World Cup. The Indian team will face Zimbabwe in a must-win game in Melbourne on Sunday (November 6). They will face England in the semi-finals if they win that clash against Zimbabwe as well.

During a discussion on Star Sports, Gambhir said: “If there is one concern, it is your spin bowling, because your spinners have not picked up wickets. That is one area which is a huge concern because if you don’t pick up wickets in the middle overs, and if you are playing against England in the semi-final, it can come back to hurt you. If India are missing anything, it is a wrist-spinner. They should play a wrist-spinner. You are playing Ashwin because he will give you a little bit of batting, but you need that batting only if you don’t score runs at the top.”

Meanwhile, Gautam Gambhir also shared that all pitches in the upcoming matches will help leg-spinners as well.

He explained: “So play Chahal, Melbourne is a big ground. After that, if you play in Sydney, he will get help there as well, and the way Ish Sodhi bowled today in Adelaide. If you see the performance of wrist-spinners in this entire tournament, they have performed exceptionally well – Shadab Khan, Adam Zampa.”

However, Yuzvendra Chahal hasn’t played a single match in the T20 World Cup. While R Ashwin has been part of the playing XI in all four games, Axar Patel has missed one game and Deepak Hooda played against South Africa as well.
