Ravi Ashwin is just one wicket away from claiming his 500th Test wicket. He could be the real difference maker for India in the second half of the series.
Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal impressed by scoring some big runs in the second Test. They are also good captaincy options, with Jaiswal scoring a double hundred in the last fixture.
