In Ashwin’s absence, India’s next-gen steps up to bring Bazball to a screeching halt

Hindustan Times  

India have enjoyed outstanding days of Test cricket on home patch previously too. India's Mohammed Siraj, right, leaves the field with Jasprit Bumrah, second right, and other teammates at the end of England's first innings in Rajkot Despite posting 445 in the first innings of the third Test, India were under the pump by close of day two. Rocked by Ben Duckett’s fierce onslaught on Friday evening when the England opener disdainfully dispatched the cherry from his presence, India looked bereft of ideas and imagination, Rohit Sharma as shell-shocked as the rest. As if that wasn’t dispiriting enough, India would have to make do without the services of R Ashwin when battle resumed at the Niranjan Shah Stadium on the moving day. Instead, while the team’s prayers lay with Ashwin and his family, Rohit needed others to step up and embrace responsibility, to fill the giant breach left by Ashwin’s unavailability, if that’s even possible.
