Following India's meek surrender in Leeds, former captain Dilip Vengsarkar on Friday said that in-form batsman Suryakumar Yadav and "our best spinner" Ravichandran Ashwin should play in the fourth Test against England, starting September 2.
England thrashed India by an innings and 76 runs to win the third Test at Headingley on Saturday with more than a day to spare. The victory saw England level the five-match series at 1-1 after India's 151-run win in the second Test at Lord's.
"I believe we need to strengthen our batting line-up by including Suryakumar Yadav," Vengsarkar told IANS. "In the No. 6 position, you need a good strong batsman. He is in great form and will help India in a big way. His skills can match with the best in this Indian team. He should be included before it's too late.
