This implies that Ashwin will be ready to bat later today if required, as India looks to push their advantage beyond 400 and eliminate England from the Test.
Before the start of play on the fourth day of the Test, Dinesh Karthik, who was one of the on-air commentators, also said that he had a conversation with India’s Kuldeep Yadav, who said that Ashwin could return to Rajkot.
“I am not sure, but I think Aish bhai is the guy who is coming back,” the wrist spinner said during a chat on Jio Cinema. And after the announcement became official, Sanjay Manjrekar appreciated it. “It was very nice of Kuldeep Yadav to give us this signal,” he said.
