For the second game in a row, India went in with Ravindra Jadeja as their lone spinner ahead of Ashwin. The left-arm spinner is yet to claim a wicket in the series. He bowled 22 overs in the first innings of the Lord’s Test. and ended with figures of 0 for 43.
Asked whether the decision to not play Ashwin was a mistake, Butt replied on his YouTube channel:
Butt did opine that Ashwin is a better spinner than Jadeja, and could have brought a different dimension to the Indian attack.
Hope India don’t regret not playing Ashwin: Danish Kaneria
Unlike his compatriot Salman Butt, former Pakistan spinner Danish Kaneria feels India have made a big mistake by not including Ravichandran Ashwin in their playing XI in the ongoing Lord’s Test. While Kaneria admitted that India have a very good pace attack, he added that Ashwin is in a different league altogether.
Speaking on his YouTube channel, Kaneria said:
Meanwhile, the Lord’s Test has effectively become a second-innings tussle. with England posting 391 in response to India’s first-innings total of 364.
