that was only because Ashwin was injured.  They did not want to play Jadeja or Kuldeep but if Ashwin was fit, then situation would have been different as Ashwin had 6 wickets in the last game.

India's selection came in for sharp criticism, but Kohli defended it, saying the pitch had played exactly how the team management had expected it to.

"Yes, we could have considered that (playing four quicks)," Kohli said, when asked if Ashwin would have played had he been fit. "If you see, the rough didn't have much assistance. It was just the pace on the ball that Lyon bowled that he got the wickets that he got.

"We as a team didn't want to think that we definitely wanted to consider a spinning option on this pitch, especially having a look at the pitch on day one and how we thought it would play on the first three days, and exactly played out that way. We thought a fast bowler is going to be more productive and more helpful for us as a team."
