2. Ravichandran Ashwin vs Joe Root and Ben Stokes
Ravichandran Ashwin is one bowler who absolutely troubles every batsman in the World in all conditions. Be it Chennai or Sydney, Ashwin has always had the batsman dancing to his variations. Over the years, we termed England batsman’s technique against spin as ‘weak’ but as years progressed, we saw the likes of Joe Root and Ben Stokes excel against spin in overseas conditions.
Take the recently concluded Sri Lanka tour, for example, we witnessed Joe Root amass 600+ runs in merely 4 innings which included 1 double century. Similarly with Ben Stokes who averages a pretty decent 38.33 has often had his days against spin. With both, Root and Stokes participating in the India tour will collide against the variations of Ravichandran Ashwin which is why it remains to see how the two would fare up.
