Jadeja crosses the revolving door for Indian spinners

Ravindra Jadeja's inclusion means a different spinner has played in each Test in the series so far
Jadeja crosses the revolving door for Indian spinners

BRISBANE: There wasn't much cricket played on Day 1 of the third Test at the Gabba, but the toss was enough to have many wondering about India's overseas spin policy, or if they indeed have one.

As things stand, Washington Sundar played in the first Test, R Ashwin in the second and now, India have picked Ravindra Jadeja for the third. All of this when Nathan Lyon, Australia's most successful off-spinner, has taken just two wickets at an average of 62.50.

Compared to Lyon, Washington and Ashwin have been better but at the same time, the role spinners have had to play in the Border Gavaskar Trophy series has been very limited.

Many expected Jadeja, the regular overseas spinner for India, to play the first Test but in the absence of skipper Rohit Sharma, he didn't. The team didn't go to Ashwin either. They went with Washington.
