Australian former opening batsman Matthew Hayden opened up his views with PTI in an interview on India’s spinning duos Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal’s bowling techniques and how they produce the ball, according to Hayden Kuldeep is very difficult to face compared to Chahal, just like Shane Warne used to drift the ball in the air, Kuldeep is very closer to him in turning the ball in the air and comes to the batsman in different form as his ball gets a distinct curve in the air.

Finger spinners are not much in demand in the 50-over format and Hayden blames it on the restrictive approach which has been their undoing. “What has happened is that off-spinners have learned the art to contain batsmen, which had kept them in play for a certain period of time.
But now, the players have got used to the flatter trajectory of the off-spinners. Off-spinners have lost the art of being able to get the pace to drop (vary pace),” said Hayden.
He also said that someone like Kedar Jadhav can only be effective if he looks to bowl at stumps, he also expressed that his ‘Mongoose bat’ would have been very effective to counter Jadhav’s low-bounce deliveries especially on low and slow tracks like Feroz Shah Kotla where India will be playing their final match of the series to decide the winner of the 5-match series on March 13 at 1:30 pm.
