ENG vs IND: Kohli Picking Thakur Over Ashwin Reveals His Concerns About Batting Against England

By IANS News August 04, 2021 • 20:04 PM View: 1976

Indian team captain Virat Kohli's call to pick pace bowler Shardul Thakur ahead of off-spinner R Ashwin in the first Test against England has revealed team management's lack of confidence in their batting.

India, who decided to field a four-pronged pace attack, have picked just one spinner in Ravindra Jadeja and benched R Ashwin, who had only recently picked 6/27 in a county game last month and also got four wickets for 45 runs (2/28 & 2/17) across two innings in the World Test Championship final against New Zealand in Southampton in June.
