Ashwin or Harbhajan? Who should Dhoni pick in the team?

Pitches in Sri Lanka have gone flat and it would be unlikely that Dhoni will play both spinners. Who do you think should be the first choice bowler in the team? Should it be Ashwin or Harbhajan?

I think Harbhajan would be a better choice as he has more experience . In the recent period Ashwin has performed well so he might get preference .

Well harbhajan has not played for a while and we do not who will give more runs and who will give less runs. The last match was just a warm up. Ashwin gave a way a lot of runs against new zealand in the t20 match. you cannot blame harbhajan for the loss because other other bowlers did not very well either.

According to me ashwin is first choice for dhoni .. because now days ashwin is in good form and also he is close to dhoni like rohit sharma .. Today's warm up match between india vs pakistan ashwin did good job .. he took 4 wickets just given 24 runs in his 4 overs so defiantly ashwin will be first choice for dhoni in coming t20 world cup matches ...

i would not say rohit sharma is close to dhoni. he did not play in the 50 over world cup. he also did not make it to the test 11 instead of raina. Incidentally raina and rohit sharma are very good friends.

Dhoni will mix his spinning choice. They may get chances based on rotation, but if Bhajji fails in the chance he gets, then he will be in the bench. As ashwin is from CSK, he have more chance to get into the team, and he also perform,his performance is also good so we can't say wrong about MSD if he go for Ashwin..

I think that Mahendra Singh Dhoni is going to take Ashwin in the team.Harbhajan Singh is no doubt a world class bowler but the kind of form he is in I don't think it is good for the team to select Harbhajan Singh only on the past performances.....Current form is very important for a player to be in the team.

I think Dhoni will mostly pick up Ashwin into the team because he is a good player who know good techniques to handle the situations. Really he is the key player for the Indian spin section. Consistency in bowling will be the reason why Dhoni will take such a section.

So, Harbhajan cannot handle situations? He is more experienced. The last t20 match in Sri Lanka was not the best for Ashwin.
