(Reuters) - Indian captain Virat Kohli trusts his spinners to be game changers at the World Cup and is not worried about them conceding runs as long as they keep picking up wickets, spinner Kuldeep Yadav has said. Kuldeep struggled in this year's Indian Premier League and was dropped by Kolkata Knight Riders but made India's 15-man squad for the World Cup based on his ODI form over the past 18 months. "Virat has always had belief in Chahal and me," Kuldeep told cricket website ESPNcricinfo. Kuldeep and Chahal have taken a combined 77 wickets in the past 12 months, six more than India's pace trio of Jasprit Bumrah, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Mohammed Shami. India begin their World Cup campaign against South Africa in Southampton on Wednesday.
