In the final match of the World Test Championship, the India team won the toss against Australia and decided to bowl first. At the same time, in this match, the Indian team has landed on the field without Ravi Ashwin, but is Rohit Sharma’s decision not to include Ravi Ashwin in the eleven correct? Actually, there are 4 lefties in the top-7 of the Kangaroo team. Had Ravi Ashwin been there, perhaps he could have been a great challenge for the left-handed hitter.
The stats show that Ravi Ashwin has been fatal against left-handed hitters. Apart from this, this spinner continually fidgeted the legendary Australian player Steve Smith. Left-handers aside, Ravi Ashwin has always been a great challenge to top hitters like Steve Smith. Not just this, Ravi Ashwin is one of the best bowlers having the most wickets in the World Test Championship. At the same time, Ravi Ashwin has shown excellent batting when needed, but he is not part of Team India’s playing XI in the World Test Championship final, so can the Indian team suffer? Have Indian captain Rohit Sharma and team management made a big mistake?
