#3 Batting capabilities
With India’s batting line-up struggling to find a consistent No. 4 and No. 5, the pressure of scoring runs falls on the lower order. This is where Ashwin and Jadeja have a huge advantage over Chahal and Kuldeep.
Ashwin has proved that he can bat in pressure situations whereas Jadeja’s big-hitting ability is second to none. What is troubling in their case is the consistency. They have been successful in scoring runs in some games but they can’t be relied on.
However, if we make a direct comparison, Ashwin and Jadeja walk into the squad as lower order batsmen without a doubt.
