India were bowled out for 78 in the first innings of the Headingley Test. Resultantly, there could be a temptation for them to play the extra batsman in Hanuma Vihari to provide an extra cushion.
In a video on his YouTube channel, this is what Deep Dasgupta had to say:
Virat Kohli has been keen on maintaining his template of going in with four seamers and Dasgupta feels that is another option with Vihari replacing Ravindra Jadeja. In this regard, he added:
Ashwin is the best spinner in the world, deserves to play: Deep Dasgupta
Deep Dasgupta feels the third option could be to go in with three seamers and two spinners in Ravichandran Ashwin and Jadeja. Ashwin has not played in the series so far due to the combination and team balance.
But Dasgupta believes Ashwin is the best spinner in the world and should play in the Oval Test.
Only time will tell what combination Team India will go in with for the Oval Test, which is set to begin today (September 2).
