India and New Zealand will battle it out in a high-profile clash in the World Test Championship (WTC) final for the title, beginning today at the Ages Bowl, Southampton.
Former Indian batsman VVS Laxman believes Ravindra Jadeja is a complete package for him and Ravichandran Ashwin is his first-choice spinner. "Ravichandran Ashwin will be my first-choice spinner. And as rightly mentioned, the way he bowled in Australia, he put pressure on the best batsman in the opposition line-up – Steve Smith – and consistently got him out and that was one of the reasons why India went on to win that Test series. It shows that Ashwin is very talented, very skilful, and now he`s got the confidence of even performing in overseas conditions. So, he will be my first-choice spinner and Ravindra Jadeja, you can`t just forget him. He is not only a spinner who can bowl in helpful conditions. Over the last two years, he has improved immensely in beating the batsman with his style, flight, and variation in pace. So, I just feel that he is a complete package for me," said Laxman.
