Ashwin has surpassed Chahal for at least two reasons. 1. Pakistan's openers, who are the foundation of the team's batting, have struggled against offspin, and 2. Ashwin provides batting cushion at #8.
This is critical when the team intends to go all-out from the start to the finish. Shami's lack of game time is intriguing, but he looked match-ready in the warm-ups against Australia.
The greatest rivalry in the history at the field of Melbourne is all set to start. Who is going to hit the winnining punch today?
