Jadeja has been India’s first-choice spinner in the three Tests so far as Virat Kohli has backed the template of playing four pacers and an all-rounder. However, a knee injury means that Ashwin could replace the left-arm spinner.
Speaking to reporters, Moeen Ali divulged briefly about the possibility of seeing Ravichandran Ashwin play at The Oval.
Not expecting a hat-trick this time: Moeen Ali
Moeen Ali has a Test hat-trick to his name against South Africa at The Oval in 2017.
The Oval has traditionally been good for spin bowlers. This time, however, the pitch looks greener to Ali than it has on any other occasion.
Having said that, Moeen Ali is still expecting a bit of turn from the surface as the game goes on and is hopeful of having an impactful performance.
The fourth Test between England and India will begin in less than a day’s time and both teams will be keen to take a decisive lead.
