- R. Ashwin:
Like Virat Kohli, the Indian side needs Ashwin to fire all cylinders at the earliest. The equation is simple indeed, when Ashwin takes wickets, India more often than not win. After struggling terribly on that last day at Ranchi, Ashwin being the genius he is, will be itching to get on the field at the picturesque venue. A bouncy hard surface could well be a boon for Ashwin as his threat will amplify if he is able to get decent bounce.
