R. Ashwin was not a part of the playing eleven across the first three Tests. India have only made solitary changes to the line-up so far with the introduction of Ishant Sharma in place of the injured Shardul Thakur.
Harbhajan Singh firmly believes that if batsmen put runs on the board, then the Indian bowling unit has the ability to scalp 20 wickets. He added that Ishant Sharma should make way to accommodate Ashwin in the playing XI. While speaking on his YouTube channel, Harbhajan said:
Ashwin had represented Surrey in a County Championship game at the Oval ahead of the England series. He capped off a good outing with a terrific spell in the second innings that yielded six wickets.
Ball will turn and bounce at The Oval: Harbhajan Singh
Harbhajan Singh, who was part of the Indian team that played at the Oval in 2002 and represented Surrey in county cricket, claimed that if spinners bowl an upright seam, they will be rewarded with turn and bounce. Harbhajan added:
Team selection and combination will be a key focus as India head into the fourth Test after a humiliating defeat at Leeds in their third contest.
