ICC T20 World Cup 2016: India vs West Indies combined XI

Ravichandran Ashwin

Ravichandran Ashwin

Ravichandran Ashwin had a rare bad day and disappeared quite a bit against the Aussies even though he managed to pick the all-important wicket of Warner in the last game. But he remains Dhoni's trump card in crunch situations. Whenever it comes to needing wickets or cutting down the flow of runs, Dhoni more often than not turns to Ashwin.

The highly-skilled and clever bowler will also arguably be India's main weapon against Gayle. It will not be surprising if Dhoni decides to bowl Ashwin in the powerplay to pick the prized wicket of Gayle today. A Gayle versus Ashwin battle will be enticing and is something that all cricket fans are looking forward to.
