Eng vs Ind, 4th Test: India's probable playing XI

Ravi Ashwin

Ashwin would be the key on the dry wicket of Southampton

In 2014, when the two sides met at Ageas Bowl, Moeen Ali was the wrecker-in-chief with his off break. He accounted for six wickets in India's second innings.

The pitch at Southampton this time around looks no different and is expected to aid spin bowling. Ashwin should be the lone spinner in the team so he will play a vital role.

India will hope he recovers in time from his hip injury for the fourth Test.
