India vs Australia 2017: 5 reasons why India should play 6 specialist batsmen in Bangalore

#4 Could ease the workload on Ashwin and Jadeja

Ashwin, Jadeja could concentrate on their bowling

Both Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja have blossomed into fine and reliable all-rounder for the Indian team and over the 15 months they have contributed with the bat and have churned out many crucial runs lower down the order.

However, in Pune they failed as they could not withstand the pressure and this in order had a bearing even on their bowling.

A specialist batsman in Karun Nair would take some heat off Ashwin and Jadeja and would help them concentrate more on their bowling.
