Ashwin has tormented the English batsmen in the series

Ashwin has been England's nemesis in the series, with ball and bat. He seems to turn up each day to either score a half-century or take a fifer. Such has been Ashwin's influence in the line-up that England seem lost when he is in the thick of things.

His batting has overshadowed the failures of Rahane and Vijay and India have never felt a batsman short. His bowling has been good but not unplayable. England need to find their dancing shoes and instead of attacking him, find a way to deny him wickets.

Virat Kohli is India's leader and leads the team from the front. The level of confidence, agility and physical intensity he has brought to this Test side is beyond value. If England are to win, they need to tie down Virat Kohli.
