This right handed offie is one of the premier bowlers in world cricket right now. His lethal combination with great Anil Kumble makes India the most potent combination of spinners in the world cup. His specialty in the “doosra” the ball which goes away from the batsman instead of coming into the batsman, he has outfoxed many great batsmen.

His never say die attitude is a big plus for Indian team. He is a useful lower order batsman too with his attacking but somewhat unorthodox hitting. His economy rate is the best amongst the bowlers. He is more often than not given the dual responsibility of not only choking runs for the opponent in the middle overs and getting crucial break throughs, with the absence of Anil Kumble till recently he has fulfilled this hob quite efficiently. In this world cup which is going to be played in West Indies the pitches are supposed to be slow and low, which will help spinners, his performance will be very crucial for the success of Indian cricket team.
