india set to go with spin option with r ashwin in perth test not jadeja and sundar

Now only 2 days are left for the start of Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024. But even before that there are many questions regarding the playing eleven of Team India. In the absence of Rohit Sharma, the command in the Perth Test match will be on the shoulders of Jasprit Bumrah. At present the team has three options, one of which is R Ashwin, second is Ravindra Jadeja and third is Washington Sundar. However, R Ashwin may get a chance in the first test match. Why could this happen?

Actually, Jadeja and Sundar can handle the responsibilities as batsmen along with bowling. But R Ashwin will bowl good spin on Australia’s pace-friendly pitches. He has great experience and also does some batting. Apart from this, the main reason for him getting a chance is that there are three left-handed batsmen in the Australian team, while there are also two left-handed tailenders. In the Kangaroo team, openers Usman Khawaja, Travis Head and Alex Carey are left-handed batsmen, who can create problems for India. In such a situation, it is very important for Ashwin to be in the team to deal with them.

Ashwin’s record against Steve Smith and Marnus Labuschagne is also excellent. Apart from this, he can also trouble the young batsman Nathan McSweeney. This is why Ashwin is expected to get a chance before Sundar and Jadeja. If we talk about fast bowling then Mohammad Siraj will be seen with Jasprit Bumrah. The third pacer could be Akashdeep or the famous Krishna. Nitish Reddy can be given a chance as the fourth pacer, who can bat along with pace bowling.
