  1. over dependence on Ashwin

Ashwin has been a match winner for India in home conditions. He has single handedly won a number of games for India. The records speak for themselves. In the home series against New Zealand he rattled the entire batting lineup. His subtle variations in speed and loop foxed the New Zealanders. The best thing about Ashwin’s bowling is that the stock delivery is turning and getting him wickets.

However the problem that the Indian team currently facing is over dependence on Ashwin to deliver. In case of an off day for Ashwin it seems that the entire bowling lineup loses its sheen. In the 46 overs that Ashwin bowled in the first innings he conceded 167 runs taking only 2 wickets which is pretty low as compared to the standard he has set for himself.
