India vs Sri Lanka: L Sivaramakrishnan backs Varun Chakravarthy, Rahul Chahar to make a case for T20 World Cup

Firstpost  

Sivaramakrishnan also said the Indian team management should also discuss Ravichandran Ashwin’s name for the T20 World Cup. Former Indian spinner Laxman Sivaramakrishnan has backed the likes of Varun Chakravarthy and Rahul Chahar to make an impact in the upcoming limited-over series against Sri Lanka and make a strong case for themselves for this year’s T20 World Cup in the UAE. Talking about Chakravarthy’s selection in the team for the T20 World Cup, Sivaramakrishnan said, “I think there’s a possibility. If you bowl a leg-stump, the batsman has already in line with the ball, he just has to pick the length and hit him through the line.” Team India have the depth when it comes to spinners in white-ball cricket, but Sivaramakrishnan suggests the team management should discuss Ravichandran Ashwin’s name for the T20 World Cup.
