R Ashwin

Veteran wicket-keeper batter Dinesh Karthik feels the England spinners have bowled better than the Indian-experienced spin attack in the fourth Test at the JSCA International Stadium Complex in Ranchi. He also expressed that Ravichandran Ashwin has not had the best of series.

So far, Ashwin has picked up 12 wickets, at an average of 38.83, and an economy rate of 4.05 in the ongoing test series against England. Speaking to Cricbuzz, Dinesh Karthik expressed that Ashwin has not had his best series in India. However, he added that Kuldeep Yadav’s performance has been a positive for them. Kuldeep has taken eight wickets in three matches, while Jadejas has 16 wickets.

“The inexperienced England spinners have bowled better than Indian spinners in this Test. Speaking about each spinner, Kuldeep has been a positive for India, Jadeja has not been consistent but yes, Ravichandran Ashwin has not had his best series in India. It’s not often that you can go four Test matches in India without an Ashwin fifer or a four-fer,” said Dinesh Karthik on Cricbuzz.

English spinners have done better than Indian spinners in this series: Dinesh Karthik

Dinesh Karthik further expressed that England spinners have performed better than the Indian spinners in the ongoing series. He added that despite being an inexperienced attack, they have bowled better than their fast bowlers. Tom Hartley, who made his Test debut in Hyderabad, is leading the wicket-taking tables. He has taken 18 wickets at an average of 33.27, and an economy rate of 3.21. Dinesh Karthik said on Cricbuzz,

“Going from what has happened, you have to say that English spinners have done better than Indian spinners in this series. This is the first time they’re travelling to India. It’s like a completely inexperienced medium or fast-bowling attack going to Australia or England and doing better than their fast-bowlers.”
