No Jayant Yadav:
This may sound as if the entire blame of the defeat is being put on the rookie Haryana off-spinner but surely he didn’t seem like he had any plans. It was as if he has been told to play supporting cast to the top-ranked duo of R. Ashwin and R. Jadeja, but he literally looked over – reliant on their success to draw inspiration for his showing.
He seemed clueless to some extent. Maybe he should realise that he isn’t just an extra fiddle in the bowling attack but an actual important part of the bowling attack.
While Kohli might not be interested in shaking up the bowling attack, the chinaman Kuldeep Yadav looks like a great option. He turns the ball both ways and bowls like an aggressor. Kuldeep’s inclusion would certainly make the Aussies re-think their plans.
