5 domestic players India should try before the 2016 World T20

The Indian team have a lot of issues to sort out before the 2016 World T20With less than six months to go for the 2016 T20 World Cup, all the teams are fine-tuning their teams to get the right combination. India, who will be hosting the tournament, are also set to play a number of matches in the format before the World Cup than they usually play which is a great thing in order to prepare a well-settled side before the tournament begins.Though India has suffered a setback of sorts with the series loss against South Africa, they would like to see this series as a learning curve – Virat Kohli said the same following the series defeat.But there’s no denying that India still has a lot of problems to solve before the World Cup –  the openers are not blazing off like the ones in other teams, there is no assigned finisher at number seven and the bowling still looks undercooked.So let’s have a look at the 5 players in domestic cricket India should try before the T20 World Cup as maybe, some of these players could solve India’s problems.  

#5 Kuldeep Yadav

 

Kuldeep Yadav can be the X factor in the Indian T20 side

Kuldeep Yadav plays for Uttar Pradesh in the Ranji Trophy and bowls chinaman which is an art rarely practised in cricket. A chinaman bowler conventionally turns the ball into the right-hander, but he can bowl the wrong one which can go away from the right hander.

Kuldeep, with his chinaman, can provide an element of mystery to the Indian T20 team, which can be pretty useful on the Indian tracks, especially considering the success the Australian Brad Hogg enjoyed in IPL 8.

In the tour match against South Africa, his performance was excellent. The South Africans managed 189 runs batting first, but Kuldeep only conceded 26 runs in his four overs. Furthermore, he got the crucial wicket of AB de Villiers.

India can try him before the World Cup and see if the opposition is able to read him well or whether he is able to bamboozle them with his art.
