South Africa vs India 2018: Who should play and who shouldn't for India in the second Test

Spinner

R Ashwin

Ashwin bowled quite well in the opening game

Ashwin bowled a mere eight overs in the first Test, the number of overs he would have bowled on the trot in the sub-continent.

As a batsman, he top-scored with a patient 37 in the fourth innings when the team were bundled out for 135.

The off-spinner will play if the team think-tank decides to stick with five bowlers. However, the skipper could be tempted to play an extra batsman in place of the bowling all-rounder as the venue of the next Test is known for its pace and bounce.
