Spinners have dominated the Indian team from the very beginning. Many legendary spinners came to India and there were many names who were better but could not play much. The Indian team has been considered a team with better spinners than fast bowlers.
The spin bowlers of the Indian team have always been dominant in the home series . From Anil Kumble to Harbhajan Singh and Ravichandran Ashwin, spinners have contributed to the success of the Indian team.
Anil Kumble is the third highest Test wicket-taker in the world. At present, the new generation also seems to be able to perform well as a spinner. Players such as Kuldeep Yadav, Ravindra Jadeja and Yuzvendra Chahal can be considered prominently among them.
It has been a tradition for the team to take the field with two spinners in Indian conditions. It was there before and is still going on. There are many great spinners in the current Indian team who can also be seen in the role of the main spinner in the future. In this article, we take a look at 3 Indian young spin bowlers who could become an important first team player in the next 3 years.
Washington Sundar
It has been three years since Washington Sundar made his international debut but the important thing is that he is still 23 years old. He got a chance in the Indian team only after showing his talent in the IPL.
Washington Sundar, who troubled the batters with his off-spin bowling, could be one of India’s main off-spin bowler in the long term. He could be the perfect replacement for Ashwin, a bowler who can take wickets and score runs and can also play in all three formats.
Rahul Chahar
Rahul Chahar, brother of current Indian team fast bowler Deepak Chahar, is a great spin bowling prospect. There have been glimpses of his superior bowling on a few occasions in the IPL. Apart from this, he has also made his debut at the international level. The 20-year-old bowler has variations. Other Indian spinners are older than him so he will have time to become the main spinner in future.
Ravi Bishnoi
Ravi Bishnoi, the leg-spin bowler was firstly witnessed in the Under 19 World Cup 2020, and he was India’s star with the ball in that campaign. The future of Ravi Bishnoi, who took the Indian team to the final with the highest 17 wickets, also looks bright.
The leg-spinner’s googly is very good, due to which he was successful in the Under-19 World Cup. He can become the main spinner in the Indian team playing for a long time. He has also displayed his quality in the IPL. And most importantly, he is already in the brink of taking Yuzvendra Chahal’s place in the team.
