Speaking on Star Sports, Ravindra Jadeja discussed the bowling lineup that will be utilized on the West Indies pitches.
"Whenever we play in the West Indies, the wicket remains a bit slow and dry. The match timing is also in the morning, so spinners will have help. Even in India, there are many wickets where spinners get help. So it is a good thing that spinners will get help here in the middle overs. You could see spinners being used in the death overs as well," said Jadeja while talking with Star Sports.
In the group stage matches, India has consistently relied on two spin all-rounders, Axar Patel and Ravindra Jadeja. However, for IND vs AFG T20 World Cup 2024 match on Thursday (June 20), there's speculation that the team management might opt for a third spinner, favoring Kuldeep Yadav over Yuzvendra Chahal. If the wicket at Kensington Oval in Barbados favors spin, India could potentially field all four spinners.
India's probable playing 11 for IND vs AFG T20 World Cup 2024 match: Yashasvi Jaiswal, Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Rishabh Pant, Shivam Dube, Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Mohammed Siraj, Jasprit Bumrah, Kuldeep Yadav.
