So, a spin-dominated side is imperative. On the bowling front, left- arm wrist spinners have done really well at this venue having picked a wicket every 20 balls in two games. Not far behind are leg-spinners, who have picked up a wicket every 25.1 balls in three outings. In this case, Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal might both get a game. Live Cricket Online Off-spinners have also been pretty effective here while left-arm orthodox spinners have had pretty nominal returns. A combination of five frontline batsmen including the wicket-keeper, a spin-bowling all-rounders, two spinners and two fast bowlers could be the way to go for this Test.
