• Team India's 'Spin' Masterplan in Gaul Test


• Will 3 left-arm spinners take the field?


• The team is ready for every situation..

The much-awaited Test series between India and Sri Lanka will begin on Saturday, August 15. Team India will look to win both the Test matches in this series to reach the finals of the World Test Championship. The Indian team management is in a quandary as the spinners are likely to get more help at the wicket. Gautam Gambhir and Shubman Gill are yet to decide on three spinners and two fast bowlers. While the team will give three pacers a chance, it will be important to include four spinners in the final 11. However, bowling coach Morne Morkel has hinted that India may field three left-arm spinners in the first Test.

India will field with 3 spinners

Indian bowling coach Morne Morkel has hinted that India could field three left-arm spinners in the first Test against Sri Lanka in Gaul. Because Kuldeep Yadav, Manav Suthar and Ravindra Jadeja have different bowling styles and wicket taking abilities. Kuldeep has the ability to confuse batsmen with his left wrist spin, Jadeja's accurate bowling can trouble even the best batsmen, while Suthar's bowling is reminiscent of the traditional style of left-arm spin bowling.

Kuldeep's experience is very important

“We have Kuldeep with us and he is an aggressive bowler,” Morkel told the media. His experience is very important to us. I think they are all different in their own style. Manav turns the ball a bit more, while Jadeja is a bit more accurate, and I don't think having three left-arm spinners is a big concern for us.'

Playing three spinners is the right decision…

Morkel added that 'if you look at the history of this ground, how the matches have been played here, I think it is the right way to give three spinners a chance. Considering our spin bowling, this is a very aggressive option. But looking at the pitch, it looks a good pitch and I believe as the Test progresses, there will be some changes. But, this will depend on how skipper Shubman Gill uses these bowlers at certain times. But in terms of skill, they all have the potential to take 20 wickets for us.'

The team is ready for every situation..

Morkel said, 'The team has prepared for all kinds of situations, in which mental ability, batting for a long time and bowling in the right places will be important. Morkel did not seem worried when it came to fast bowling. He said that the famous Krishna and Mohammad Siraj have played a lot of cricket under difficult conditions at the domestic level. Here, for them, the intense heat, humidity and softness of the kookaburra ball will be real challenges.'
