'Jadeja isn't Murali or Warne... see how many times I've hit Ashwin': Pietersen's mantra for England to beat India

Hindustan Times  

One of the crucial reasons behind India's invincible run at home since 2013 has been the duo of Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja. With England hoping to inflict a similar result in the upcoming five-match contest, the hero of the 2012/13 series, Kevin Pietersen has advice or two for Ben Stokes and his men on tackling the duo of Ashwin and Jadeja. Kevin Pietersen reveals how England can tackle Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja in the upcoming Test series Speaking in an interview with former England captain Michael Atherton for The Times, Pietersen, who had smashed a magnificent 186 on a turner in the Mumbai Test against India to help England win the series 2-1, explained how he had negated the Ashwin threat in that contest. I’d see the doosra at the back of his mark and, because he had a stacked leg-side field because the ball was turning so much, I’d think ‘four or six.’” Besides Ashwin, India also have two left-arm spinners in Jadeja and Axar Patel as part of the squad for the opening two matches.
