Ashwin has not played a single game in this series so far and Dasgupta feels he is too good a player to miss out again. He believes Ashwin will have a crucial role to play at The Oval.
In a video on his YouTube channel, this is what Dasgupta had to say:
Rishabh Pant will need to have clarity of thought: Deep Dasgupta
Deep Dasgupta has backed the same top six that played in the last Test. But he feels the likes of Ajinkya Rahane and Rishabh Pant will need to get back among the runs.
Dasgupta believes Pant often finds himself confused about whether to play at the ball or leave. The former cricketer wants the young wicket-keeper batsman to play freely and attack the England bowlers with a clear mind.
Deep Dasgupta’s playing XI: Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul, Cheteshwar Pujara, Virat Kohli (c), Ajinkya Rahane, Rishabh Pant (wk), Ravindra Jadeja, Ravichandran Ashwin, Mohammed Shami, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj.
