Former cricketer Piyush Chawla has confidently marked wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav as India's preferred specialist spinner for the Super Eight stage of the T20 World Cup in the Caribbean. Chawla, speaking at the IISM Convocation Ceremony, emphasized Kuldeep's exceptional performance in recent years.

Despite challenging pitch conditions in New York, where India performed admirably against Ireland, Pakistan, and USA, Chawla expects the spinners to shine in the upcoming matches. India will face Canada in their final group stage match before heading into the Super Eight. Chawla highlighted that the spin-friendly conditions in the Caribbean will be ideal for India's spin arsenal, including Yuzvendra Chahal, Axar Patel, and Ravindra Jadeja. However, Kuldeep remains his first pick.

Kuldeep himself acknowledged that the tricky New York pitch brought out the best in teams like India, showcasing the prowess of bowlers like Jasprit Bumrah and Hardik Pandya. As the tournament progresses, all eyes will be on India's spinners to continue their dominant streak.
