ICC Champions Trophy semi-final: Five things to look out for when India meet Sri Lanka

4. The Indian spin duo

R. Jadeja and R. Ashwin have made the ball talk in English conditions. They have been a bit fortunate as the surfaces have been on the drier side and have offered enough assistance. However, a return of 12 wickets in 3 matches is astounding. They are critical for this Indian side, as they contain the run rate in the middle overs allowing MS Dhoni to dictate the pace of the game. Jadeja especially has been in hot form as batsmen have failed to pick him. He is an intelligent bowler and bowls within his limitations, sticking to a wicket to wicket line and getting the odd ball to turn. That creates a lot of doubt in the batsman’s mind, and hence he gets a lot of leg-before dismissals.
