India vs England First Test: 5 Takeaways

Three spinner theory

amit_mishra India went into the game with three quality spinners who have the ability to win games for India. Ashwin is the pivot of the bowling lineup on which the performance of the bowling unit depends. However the problem with three spinner theory is that the services of one of the bowler is underutilized. In the first Innings of the game Ashwin did bulk of bowling delivering 46 overs. Jadeja too chipped in with 30 odd overs but Amit Mishra seemed to be have under bowled.

An important thing for a spinner is to get into rhythm for which he craves for longer spells. The problem with having three spinners in the side is that inevitable one of the bowlers would have to compromise on that front. Going forward in the series it would be interesting to see if Kohli continues with this side or twerks the bowling lineup a bit.
