ENG vs IND, 2nd Test: Captain Kohli Says Batting Sorted, Hints Ashwin May Not Play
India skipper Virat Kohli has hinted that the team management won't shore up batting by bringing in R Ashwin as replacement for injured pacer Shardul Thakur and will instead stick to the combination of four specialist pace bowlers and a spinner for the second Test that begins on Thursday.
Thakur, who was picked for last week's first Test due to his ability to bat, has been ruled out of second Test due to myofascial strain on his left hamstring. Ashwin, who has bowled well in recent times and can bat too, may have been a suitable replacement. He scored a century in the second Test of the home series against England in Chennai in February.
