2017 Border-Gavaskar Trophy: 5 reasons why Australia should be wary of India

#3 Spinners have found the perfect synchronisation

Ashwin and Jadeja complement each other quite admirably

Initially seen as a bowler who could just hold one end up, Jadeja has gone from strength to strength during the last couple of seasons. Without sacrificing his metronomic accuracy, he now varies his pace smartly and utilises the angles, becoming a genuine wicket-taking option on even flat tracks.

The left-arm spinner’s metamorphosis has allowed partner-in-crime Ravichandran Ashwin to experiment a lot more without worrying about the constant need to provide breakthroughs. In fact, when the off-spinner is not finding his optimal rhythm, he looks to provide control from his end to allow Jadeja attack from the other. Australia’s batsmen should soon find the difficulty of tackling the spin duo who complement each other magnificently.
