New Delhi: Team India is considered as one of the strongest team in the world cricket. This is because of the depth in domestic cricket which is full of talented players. But just think about India’s playing XI featuring only left-handed cricketers which includes five specialist batters, two spin-bowling all-rounders, one specialist spinner and two pacers.
A few left-handed cricketers like Yashasvi Jaiswal, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Rishabh Pant and Kuldeep Yadav play all three formats of the game. Let’s have a look at the left-handed playing XI of the Indian cricket team.
Openers Yashasvi Jaiswal and Abhishek Sharma
Yashasvi and Abhishek provide an explosive start in the powerplay. Both the openers are known for playing attacking shots from the first ball of the match Jaiswal has been a crucial part of India’s test team and also made his ODI debut against England in the first match in Nagpur while Abhishek has notched up second fastest hundred by an Indian batter in the fifth T20I against England at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.
Middle order ft. Tilak Varma, Rishabh Pant
After the openers, Tilak Varma, Ishan Kishan, Rishabh Pant and Rinku Singh will bat in the middle order. Tilak is in sensational form and has scored a lot of runs in the T20I series against Bangladesh and South Africa while Pant has also made a brilliant comeback in international cricket after recovering from injuries that he suffered in a life-threatening car accident.
All-rounders and bowlers
Ravindra Jadeja and Axar Patel have played a crucial role in India’s 4-wicket victory in the first ODI against England. Jadeja picked up three wickets while Axar scored a brilliant half-century in the run-chase and also took one wicket. Arshdeep Singh and Khaleel Ahmed are the two fast bowlers in the team and Kuldeep Yadav is the only specialist spinner in the team. Kuldeep made a comeback in the Indian team after more than three months while Arshdeep Singh has done exceptionally well for the team in the shortest format.
