On green tracks, the role of the spinners becomes very restricted and this is where they will have to identify their modified roles in the scheme of things.

While the aggressors will be the faster bowlers, the spinners become a more restrictive tool and it could well be that Ravichandran Ashwin will be the sole spinner in Nagpur and hence India's most prolific wicket-taker over the past two years will have to hold one end up.

He has to make sure that the faster bowlers get adequate rest in between spells and that the pressure is not lifted at any point in time.
