Deccan Chargers coach Darren Lehmann is of the opinion that Amit Mishra and Rahul Sharma are different types of leg spinners and can compliment each other well in the same team.
"I think Mishra is the best leg spinner in the country.
He has a real strong mentality. We encourage him to go for wickets. We don't want him to bowl just tight. Rahul Sharma is more of the Anil Kumble type," said Lehmann after Deccan scored a six-wicket victory over Pune Warriors India in an IPL tie at the D Y Patil Stadium here tonight.
"Mishra turns the balls both ways and has got variations.
Rahul is not a big turner of the ball but has control and bounce. They both can play in the same team, no doubt about that and they both are exceptional bowlers.
