Former India batter turned veteran commentator Aakash Chopra said that the visitors will have to bring a wrist spinner into their playing XI for the rest two ODIs of the series in Australia as well. Saying that the Indian team were right in playing two finger spinners in Perth, considering the conditions, he also added that India would find it difficult to claim wickets if they stick to the same combination as well.

Speaking on his YouTube channel, he said: “We are playing Axar Patel and Washington Sundar. Don’t we need a wrist spinner? This thought definitely comes to mind. Yes, even Perth, we couldn’t play one. There was no place in my XI as well. But going ahead, India will have to think about a wrist spinner. Otherwise, with this bowling line-up, it would be difficult to pick up wickets.

“Jasprit Bumrah is not there. Harshit Rana and Arshdeep Singh, at the one-day level, this is a very young bowling attack. Axar and Washi, the two finger spinners, can they force a wicket? Axar, yes, but Washi, that is still a big question,” he further added.

However, Team India can bring in left-arm wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav into the playing XI if they want to strengthen their bowling attack for the remaining two ODIs as well.
