Dinesh Karthik picked India’s Bowling Combination for CT: The Indian cricket team has reached Dubai to participate in the Champions Trophy and has also started training there. The Indian team will try its best to perform well in this tournament which is going to be held after a long wait of eight years. The team that India has selected for the tournament has five spin options, which many people have also raised questions about.
There are three fast bowlers in the Indian team and along with this Hardik Pandya will also be a bowling option. Former Indian wicketkeeper and part of the Indian team that won the Champions Trophy in 2013, Dinesh Karthik has now made a big statement on India’s bowling combination in the Champions Trophy.
According To Karthik
According to Karthik, India can field three spinners in their bowling attack, in which Axar Patel and Ravindra Jadeja will be all-rounders who will also make important contributions to the team in batting. However, he believes that only two players can get a chance in fast bowling.
Karthik Said On Cricbuzz
Karthik said on Cricbuzz, I think one of Mohammed Shami and Harshit Rana will be on the team. Harshit will be included in the team. Two left-arm spinners, Axar Patel and Jadeja. It would be fair to say that they are all-rounders, and it is correct to say so. Then we have Kuldeep. We have Hardik Pandya as the sixth bowler.

According To The Statement Given By Karthik
According to the statement given by Karthik and the bowling combination prepared by India, Shami may have to sit out. Looking at the last few matches, Harshit Rana is sure to be in the playing eleven. Arshdeep Singh can also get a chance due to his consistent performance and if the Indian team will field only two fast bowlers, then Shami will be at a loss.
Axar Patel and Jadeja have also confirmed their place in the playing eleven. In such a situation, the team management may have to think a lot about bringing Varun Chakraborty in the playing eleven.
