The ongoing 5-match Test series between India and England has been dominated by the pacers, mostly because of the swinging conditions in England, despite the fact that there were a lot of talks about the hot conditions in the country since the past couple of months. But things have taken a drastic since the rain-affected game at Lord’s since and because of which this has been an exhilarating contest so far.

R Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja

Despite the fact that the spinners haven’t been able to leave much of an impact in the matches so far in the series, former Indian opener, Virender Sehwag now wants the visitors to play two spinners in the fourth Test in Southampton. Indian skipper Virat Kohli has made a mistake in the Lord’s Test by playing Kuldeep Yadav and R Ashwin where the conditions were favorable for the fast bowlers completely.

However, with the injury concerns of Ashwin for the last two Tests, it is very much likely that India will go in with Ravindra Jadeja. But if Ashwin gets fit, the left-arm spinner will be seen warming the bench again.

On the other hand, while speaking to India TV, Sehwag said, “Ravindra Jadeja could play along with Ashwin. India is lucky to have two spinners in their ranks who can bowl out oppositions. But it will be problematic if Ashwin is unfit as India will be handicapped if they play with only one spinner on a surface where two should play. I wish Ashwin gets fit and India field both of them. Another advantage is that both of them can bat so it will also boost the team batting.”

With the series interestingly poised at 2-1, Virat Kohli-led Indian team will be eager to level it at the Ageas Bowl where the fourth Test will be played from August 30.
