Moreover, the Indian bowling attack failed to pick up. In a single wicket in their opening clash against Pakistan. Ashwin has always been a wicket-taking option. I picked to play against New Zealand, he could very well be Virat Kohli’s go-to bowler in this encounter.
While Brett Lee managed to pick up. Just seven wickets from 13 games, he had an impressive rate of 7.41. Ravindra Jadeja is an automatic selection on the side. But Ashwin could be a like-for-like replacement for Varun Chakravarthy. If the team management looks to shake things up a bit.
