T20 World Cup 2021, India vs New Zealand: Bangar feels experienced Ashwin may get nod over Chakravarthy

India
opted
for
the
mystery
spin
of
Varun
Chakravarthy
in
their
10-wicket
loss
against
Pakistan
last
week.
Chakravarthy,
who
did
well
for
Kolkata
Knight
Riders
in
the
recent
IPL
2021,
ended
with
figures
of
0
for
33
in
his
4
overs.

During
IPL
2021,
the
KKR
spinner
was
effective
on
wickets
in
Sharjah,
where
his
team
had
a
great
record
enroute
to
the
final,
which
they
lost
in
Dubai.

Scenario

With
game
against
New
Zealand
also
being
played
in
Dubai,
Bangar
said
that
season
spinner
Ashwin
should
come
into
the
playing
XI
in
place
of
the
mystery
spinner
Chakravarthy.

“Varun
Chakravarthy’s
recent
performances
in
UAE.
He
was
very
effective
at
Sharjah,
but
not
in
Dubai
–
where
this
game
will
be
played.
Taking
into
account
the
importance
of
the
game,
the
number
of
matches
played
by
Varun
Chakravarthy
is
a
little
less,
and
his
international
experience
is
a
little
less,”
Bangar
said
on

Star
Sports’ show
‘Game
Plan’.

“For
a
game
of
this
significance,
you
would
definitely
want
somebody
with
temperament
and
experience.
So,
in
my
opinion,
Ravichandran
Ashwin
may
get
the
nod
in
place
of
Varun
Chakravarthy,” he
added.

T20
World
Cup
2021:
Shane
Warne
predicts
group
toppers,
semifinalists
and
potential
finalists

India
and
New
Zealand
will
lock
horns
against
each
other
in
the
Super
12
stages
of
the
World
Cup
on
Sunday
(October
31)
at
the
Dubai
International
Cricket
Stadium.

Both
sides
will
enter
the
contest
after
suffering
a
loss
against
Pakistan
and
will
look
to
get
a
win
as
they
aim
to
finish
in
the
top
two
spots
in
Group
2.

Earlier,
former
Australia
spinner
Shane
Warne
had
predicted
that
either
India-Pakistan
or
England-Australia
will
square
off
in
the
finals
of
the
ongoing
ICC
Men’s
T20
World
Cup.

Warne’s
prediction
came
after
England
hammered
Australia
by
eight
wickets
on
Saturday
at
the
Dubai
International
Cricket
Stadium
in
the
Super
12
stage.

“I
still
believe
the
teams
that
will
top
each
group
&
make
it
through
will
look
like
this,
plus
semi’s
&
final…England,
Australia,
Pakistan
and
India.
Semi’s
–
Eng
V
India,
Aust
V
Pak
So
final
will
be
either
India
V
Pak
or
Aust
V
England,”
tweeted
Warne.
