- R. Ashwin:
In all probability, India will look to go with a 6-5 team combination, and in that case, Ashwin will be used as an all-rounder. Despite batting at 7 against Bangladesh, Ashwin can be expected to slot in at 6, like he did against England and was quite successful at that position. With the ball, though, Ashwin’s dual with Australian opener David Warner will make for a mouth-watering contest. Previously against Australia at home, Ashwin emerged as the Man of the Series with 28 wickets in 4 Tests. If he repeats a similar performance, the eventual outcome too would be similar.
