Ashwin Selects All-Star Teams from Epic India-England Test Series

In a recent 5-Test series between India and England that ended in a 2-2 draw, former Indian spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has selected his top players from both teams. The series featured several standout performers, making it one of the most memorable in cricket history.

From the Indian side, Ashwin picked captain Shubman Gill, openers Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul, all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja, and pacer Mohammed Siraj. Gill was the series' leading run-scorer with 754 runs at an average over 75, including four centuries. Jaiswal and Rahul provided solid starts, while Jadeja shone with the bat, scoring 516 runs at an incredible average of 86. Siraj was the heart of the Indian attack, finishing as the series' leading wicket-taker with 23 scalps.

Ashwin also selected Washington Sundar as a sixth player, the off-spinning all-rounder who scored 284 runs at an average over 47 and took 7 wickets.

From the English side, Ashwin picked talismanic batter Joe Root as the first choice, the champion right-hander finishing as England's leading run-scorer with 537 runs at an average over 67, including three centuries. The legendary spinner also selected batters Harry Brook and Ben Duckett, who combined for 943 runs and three centuries, as well as all-rounder Ben Stokes, who scored 304 runs and took 17 wickets. Express pacer Josh Tongue, who finished with 19 wickets in only three games, rounded out Ashwin's England selection.
