The Indian women’s squad is facing a dilemma because there is uncertainty over the third spinner’s position. The top two positions are held by the incomparable spinners for India, Radha Yadav and Deepti Sharma, who are both outstanding in both red and white ball matches. Asha Sobhana and youthful Shreyanka Patil are vying for the other place.
It is noteworthy that both of the spinners took numerous wickets while competing for the Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the WPL, going on to rank first and second in the 2024 season. Because Asha can spin her wrists deftly and Shreyanka can bat down the order, she is the team’s unofficial all-rounder.
Anjum Chopra, a former captain of India, did, however, point out that the player with greater variation may be taken into consideration while choosing between the two spinners.
“Well, the team management can probably respond to that question whether or not they are looking at it. Anjum was reported by NDTV Sports as saying, “If I have to choose skilled spinners in the lineup, I would want a left-arm spinner, off-spinner, and leg-spinner, because then I get the actual variety.”
The second query appears on the form after that. Radha Yadav is regaining his shape. She had an excellent one-day, a poor first game, a poor second game, and a strong third game (as well as the third Twenty20 International). Shreyanka adds a lot of value to this lineup with her bowling, fielding, and batting abilities, so it’s also about feeding off each other, he continued.
In limited overs cricket, India is the dominant team.
India is getting ready for the upcoming Women’s Asia Cup, which is set to take place in Dambulla, Sri Lanka, beginning on July 19. India, who hold the record for most title victories—a staggering seven—will start the competition as the defending champions. Speaking about their most recent white-ball experience, they levelled the T20I series with a 1-1 result and thrashed the visiting South Africa squad 3-0 in the ODI series.
