Ravichandran Ashwin doesn’t rely on assistance from surface to make an impact, says Dinesh Karthik

Wicketkeeper-batsman Dinesh Karthik feels that India must play Ravichandran Ashwin at the Oval in the fourth Test as England have three left-handers in their top three. The five-match Test series is locked 1-1.

It might be time for India captain Virat Kohli to break up his template for the test series against England. Kohli hasn’t wavered from playing with four seamers and spinning allrounder Ravindra Jadeja for the first three tests of the five-match series.
