Ashwin's 'bizarre' strategy leaves Ravi Shastri, Kevin Pietersen fuming on air: 'India could have gone over 400-450'
Hindustan TimesThe Rohit Sharma-led side set England a target of 399 runs, a figure no team has ever successfully chased in the fourth innings of a Test match against India or, in India. Ravi Shastri and Kevin Pietersen were unimpressed with Ashwin's batting in 2nd Test against England If it was Yashasvi Jaiswal who waged a lone battle against the England attack in the first innings, it was Gill in the second, as his maiden century batting at No. Speaking on air during the final session on Day 3, Pietersen wanted Ashwin, India's final batting hope, to carry the momentum forward and keep the pressure on the England attack. Former India head coach Ravi Shastri too was left fuming at Ashwin's batting, calling it a "bizarre" knock after the home team's innings ended for 255 runs with his dismissal. Despite feeling that India took the overall honours for Day 3 in Vizag, he felt the hosts could have inflicted more damage on England with Ashwin wasting a big opportunity with the bat.
