Ashwin's omission was beneficial to pakistan - Hafeez


Mohammad Hafeez has inferred that the determination to forget R Ashwin, India's advancing restrained-overs spinner, for the first Twenty20 made Pakistan. India selected to run in with left-arm spinner Ravindra Jadeja in front of Ashwin for the match in Bangalore, which Pakistan won by five wickets.

"This is the consolidation, they knew so great what they (desired), Ashwin was not there in this crew," Hafeez stated. "So our arrangement was that provided that we play out the unique ball, then their spinners are not globe-class; I know Yuvraj is in extraordinary structure, yet when you don't have a globe-class spinner then we can rule."

Jadeja rocked the bowling alley 2.4 overs, incorporating the last one of the diversion, and was taken for 29 runs, and he committed just two runs with the bat. "It was an astonishment for us that they didn't play [Ashwin], at the close we are euphoric that we won the diversion."

Dhoni, however, shielded the choice stating Ashwin was to a greater extent a risk with the revamped ball. "Ashwin has been one of our prevailing bowlers, he needed to bowl in the first six overs a great deal," Dhoni stated. "At whatever point we had several seamers, we desired to give Jadeja a chance additionally, and once the field has opened up in the final two recreations Ashwin has additionally tried for runs, [though] he has rocked the bowling alley excellently in the first six overs."

One singular of Pakistan's beat seven batsmen was an abandoned-hander, a different explanation Dhoni accommodated the choice to forget the offspinner Ashwin. "They had bunches of right-hand batsmen, and in the event that we required an offspinner, we had Rohit Sharma and Suresh Raina. Assuming that we required an alternative of a left-arm spinner in the event that Yuvi had an awful day, we wouldn't have any choice in the XI [if Jadeja was abandoned out]."

This was just the second Twenty20 match Ashwin has missed after his presentation in opposition to Zimbabwe in 2010; the alternate one was the unimportant installation in opposition to England in the World Twenty20. Ashwin himself was philosophical regarding his oversight: "Even Fernando Torres needs to sit out for Chelsea."
