The Rahul Dravid-coached side went in with a four-pronged pace attack and preferred Ravindra Jadeja over seasoned off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin in their one-off WTC final on Wednesday at the Oval. While the Australia XI have always looked relatively settled, there has always been plenty of conjecture around the makeup of Indian team, especially surrounding their bowlers.
Ashwin`s record in England is decent, the right-armer has a total of 18 wickets at an average of 28.11 from seven matches - but surprisingly the 36-year-old has only ever played one Test at The Oval. That match was way back in 2014 against England where Ashwin collected figures of 3/72, but the veteran has since boosted his resume and is currently India`s second-leading Test wicket-taker (474) of all time.
