However, Kohli has stuck to his combination of playing four quicks by including fit-again Ishant Sharma instead of Ravichandran Ashwin. VVS Laxman feels Ashwin’s experience would have been handy as India already had enough quality in the pace bowling department.
Speaking to ESPNCricinfo, VVS Laxman explained how Ravichandran Ashwin could have made a difference to this Indian team. He doesn’t think the 34-year-old will get a look-in anytime soon.
Ishant Sharma should have replaced Mohammed Siraj: VVS Laxman
VVS Laxman is of the opinion that Ishant Sharma should have replaced Mohammed Siraj and Ravichandran Ashwin should have played in place of Shardul Thakur.
The former Indian batsman is disappointed with the way Ashwin has been handled. He was India’s first-choice spinner in the World Test Championship final and also picked up the first wicket in both innings.
India have begun the Lord’s Test well as they have scored 46 runs without losing any wickets despite being put to bat first by the hosts.
