Although England and India drew the First test at Nagpur , it was a psychological victory for the English team who lost some top order players due to injury and other reasons. The depleted side put up a brave effort against India and fought hot and hostile weather conditions that they are unused to , admirably with patience and perseverence .

Again the Indian bowling disappointed and we seem to be very poor in our bench strength of spin bowlers . Harbhajan and Kumble were both ineffective on a true wicket . India once boasted of quality spinners in almost every state and today , we have hardly any quality spin bowler.

Its time to blood young Piyush Chawla a genuine leg spinner in place of the woefully out of form Harbhajan Singh . A shot in the arm is required for those who take their place for granted.
Australia played both Warne and MacGill in the same test . Why cant India ? If we can play three left arm pacers together ( Zaheer, Irfan, Rudra Pratap) , why not two leg spinners? England have always struggled against genuine leg spinners ? Hence its time we blood Piyush Chawla and persevere with him as he is no rabbit with the bat either .
