Former Indian skipper Sourav Ganguly is of the strong opinion that captain Virat Kohli needs to bring back the wrist spin duo of Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal into the limited overs squad. While Ganguly felt that India were a potent unit in white ball cricket, the return of the spin twins would be beneficial to the 'Men in Blue' fortunes in the shortest format (T20 internationals)  of the game.

Ganguly's remarks come after both Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal missed out from the Indian lineups that faced the West Indies and South Africa in recently concluded T20I series with Kohli indicating that the management is looking to add more depth to the batting lineup.

While both the spinners have seen a meteoric rise in the run up to the 2019 World Cup, they were not at their potent best in the showpiece event.A closer look at their records in T20I cricket suggest that both have been exceptional for India over the last few years, particularly in T20Is. In his 18 matches, Kuldeep has picked up 35 wickets at an economy rate of just 6.72, and while Chahal is a tad more expensive with an economy of 8, he has 46 wickets in just 31 matches.

Ganguly said that he is not concerned with India's results in the shortest format of the game going into the World T20 next year. "The T20 World Cup is in Australia next year and opinions and judgments will be passed. The key person amidst all this will be Virat Kohli, and it will be important for him to stay calm for a long period of time," Ganguly said.

The 47-year-old added that India don't need two left arm spinners in Ravindra Jadeja and Krunal Pandya and he hopes for the upcoming Test series against South Africa to contain good pitches. "India doesn't need two left-arm spinners [Ravindra Jadeja and Krunal Pandya]. The test series will start soon, and hopefully, India will play on good pitches and not rank turners, as it has been in the last series because India is a very good team on any surface," said Ganguly.
