As the news of Ravichandran Ashwin’s absence reverberated through the Indian cricket team, Sarfaraz Khan and Yashasvi Jaiswal took an unexpected turn by showcasing their bowling skills during practice. With Ashwin’s departure leaving a void in the bowling department, the team management is on the lookout for a potential substitute within the 10-player squad.
The absence of Ashwin, known for his ability to bowl long spells and provide crucial breakthroughs, poses a challenge for India. While Rohit Sharma’s leadership qualities are likened to that of Joe Root for Team India, the necessity for a bowler capable of shouldering the workload akin to Ashwin remains evident.
