Since the ICC Champions Trophy 2017 Final, Kuldeep and Chahal have taken 128 wickets in 43 ODIs

[sweep_shot]

So far in the WC:

Chahal: 11 wickets @ 34.45 with an economy of 5.92.
Kuldeep: 6 wickets @ 56.16, econ 5.02.

Kuldeep has struggled a lot.

Top 5 wicket takers in this WC have been pacers. Spinners didn't have a great time.

This is why in edgebaston kohli cried about small boundaries, both conceded total 160 runs in 20 overs.

Giv small boundaries and flat wickets both lose their mojo.

Amir and Wahab conceded 149 in 20 overs vs England in their match on a bigger ground. What is the big deal?

I think jadeja will sneak through instead of Kuldeep. He bowled well today and is a better batter and fielder

Kuldeep is a hard bowler to pick compared to Chahal.

Don't think people have a problem in picking Kuldeep anymore. His bowling is too slow for these pitches. Chahal varies pace, length and is smarter. He needs to bowl more googles though

Didn’t they get spanked in England last year?

No spinner has stood out in this WC; it’s been all left-arm seamers.

They are the best spin-bowling duo in three world so you just have to be patient with them.

They will run through teams in 2023 in India.

Check the ER of Kuldeep. It is still under 5. Only Chahal went for more than 5.

Maybe for you he is harder to pick. Every other batsmen are picking him easily with their eyes shut.
