Martin Crowe is surprised by MS Dhoni's tactics

Crowe could not fathom why Dhoni handed the ball to Ravindra Jadeja even though it was for one over before lunch. He, in fact, was flummoxed at Jadeja's inclusion in the XI ahead of off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin. "I was surprised that Jadeja was considered over Ashwin. After all, Ashwin is a genuine spin bowler. From what I know, he was the fastest Indian bowler to reach 100 wickets."

He was surprised at Virat Kohli being given the first over after lunch. He was also worried that they didn't have a fourth fast bowler. Nevertheless, he believes not all is over for the visitors and they could still bounce back. "I don't think it will deteriorate. It's a drop-in pitch. India can be powerful in its reply. They aren't out of this game," he concluded.
