Ravi Ashwin Dropped! Fans React As India Leave Out Ace Spinner from 1st Test Playing XI vs England

Ravichandran Ashwin was surprisingly dropped for the ongoing first Test between India and England. The visitors opted for lone spinner in the form of Ravindra Jadeja and picked four fast-bowlers- Shardul Thakur, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami, and Mohammed Siraj- in the playing XI. Meanwhile, fans were quick to react to Ashwin being dropped. And apparently, they were shocked! India vs England 1st Test 2021 Day 1 Live Score Updates.

One player who showed intent by smashing a hundred on a turning track in Chennai and even played a County game to prepare for the tour during break period is going to warm the bench at Nottingham. Nobody has showed more intent than Ashwin. Has done everything the team asks for.

Speechless

So, according to this Indian think-tank Shardul or Siraj adds more value than Ravichandran Ashwin in this XI.

Well, don't know about you but I am speechless...#ENGvIND
