ICC Champions Trophy 2017 Final: India vs Pakistan, 5 things Virat Kohli's men did wrong

#4 Persisting with the ineffective Ashwin

Ashwin was expected to be a trump card for India but struggled in the final

Ravichandran Ashwin was expected to be a huge weapon for India in the Champions Trophy final, especially after he stepped up admirably in the game against Bangladesh in the semi-finals. But the off-spinner was way off target today, persisting with a leg-side line to Fakhar Zaman and Azhar Ali, neither of whom had any problem negotiating the spinner.

Even more baffling was Kohli’s decision to persist with Ashwin in the middle overs despite him showing little to no signs of taking a wicket. That the magical fingers of Kedar Jadhav weren't utilised to Zaman is bizarre considering that the middle-order batsman showed he could flight the ball as well as anybody in the previous game.
