Kumble most successful in Tests on African soil, but Team India has not taken the leg-spinner along

The Test series between India and South Africa will start from December 26. Team India has not been able to win the Test series on African soil till date. In such a situation, there is a lot of hope from Virat Kohli's team this time, but before the start of the Test series, a big mistake of the Indian team has come to the fore.

Anil Kumble has taken the most wickets for India in South Africa. At the same time, not a single leg spinner has been selected in Kohli's team, while talking about the options, they have world class spinners like Yuzvendra Chahal and Rahul Chahar.

Kumble played 12 Test matches in South Africa from 1999 to 2007. During this he has taken 45 wickets. His best performance is 6 wickets for 53 runs. After Kumble, fast bowler Javagal Srinath (43) has taken the most wickets among Indian bowlers on African soil.

Yuzvendra Chahal has done wonders for Team India in the last few years in ODIs and T20s. His statistics are testimony to this. Chahal has played 56 ODIs for India and has taken 97 wickets. During this his average was only 26.93.

In T20, this player has taken 64 wickets in 50 matches. Despite this stellar performance, Chahal has not been able to play Test matches for India till date. This player, who has been a part of Team India since 2016, now also has experience. This player should have got a chance on the South Africa tour.
