5 things that will help India on away tours

3. Solving the spinner dilemma

It is a foregone conclusion that India will play just one spinner on the away tours.

Given the nature of pitches that are to be played on, a spinner's job will be more of a supporting cast to the seamers. Having said that, selecting one among Ashwin and Jadeja will be the most difficult task of all.

Both have been absolutely magnificent in the long home season. Jadeja, who was in Ashwin' s shadow for a long time has started winning matches for India on his own.

When it comes to batting, Ashwin has the better technique to combat swing, seam, pace and bounce. But Jadeja's quickfire runs cannot be underestimated.

Lower down the order, Jadeja is a very handy batsman. The fact that he is a left hander is another advantage for him. Picking one spinner over the other is a very happy headache that Indian Team will have.
