"Spinners will definitely play a major role on this tour of England," says Anil Kumble

Indian skipper Virat Kohli and Co. have the best chance to win the Test series in England this time. Indian team have enough experience in both bowling and batting to outwit hosts England during the upcoming series.

The former coach of India Anil Kumble for 2016-2017 believes that they possess the allround team to win the five-match series and stamp their authority as the number-one ranked side in the five-day format.

As reported in Scroll Anil Kumble cited that- We have a great side and an all-round side. In bowling we have the experience and bowlers who can take 20 wickets consistently. If you look at the batting line-up, it has a lot of experience as well,”.

“On average, all the players have played close to 50 Tests. That adds a lot of value and it’s not the first time that they are touring England. They have all been there before and they are familiar with the conditions,” Kumble said.

We have a great side and an all-round side. In bowling we have the experience and bowlers who can take 20 wickets consistently. If you look at the batting line-up, it has a lot of experience as well,” he said.

“We have the best spinners in the world and even in terms of conditions the fact that we are playing in the second-half will help our cause. We have a great opportunity to win the series. We shouldn’t have a problem operating with Duke ball,” he added.

“Wrist spinners will certainly be a handful and they will certainly play an important part in England since this time we are touring in the second half. The wicket will have its wear and tear and the wrist spinners will come into the game much earlier than the first half of the summer,” he added.
