IND vs PAK: Ahmedabad pitch and big ground.. still Ashwin out? Has Captain Rohit made a big mistake?

Ravichandran Ashwin, who has experience of 116 ODI matches, has not been included in the playing eleven against Pakistan. Ashwin, who has taken 156 wickets in the 50-over format, has once again failed to win the trust of captain Rohit Sharma. Shardul Thakur has been given preference over off-spinner. At the same time, Shardul had bowled only six overs against Afghanistan.

The India-Pakistan clash in the ICC World Cup 2023 is being held at the Narendra Modi Cricket Stadium in Ahmedabad. The pitch of this ground in Ahmedabad provides a lot of help to spin bowlers. Apart from this, this ground is also very big, so the spinners are easily able to trap the batsmen in the web of their spin. In such a situation, Captain Rohit made a big mistake by keeping Ashwin out of the playing eleven, the consequences of which may have to be borne by Team India.

The pitch in Ahmedabad helps the spin bowlers a lot and we have also seen this. In such a situation, Ashwin, who has the experience of 116 ODI matches, could prove to be very effective in this field. Ashwin also has a lot of experience playing in the World Cup, which makes him a much better option than Shardul. Along with the ball, Ashwin could also contribute with the bat.
