Is there a Conspiracy Against Ravichandran Ashwin?
I'm usually totally against "conspiracy theories" but I do feel that the only reason Ashwin is not playing this test, or at a larger level, not playing ODIs, is because Kohli and Shastri see him as a threat.

Dropping Ashwin is a Surprise!!
Dropping Ashwin is a Surprise. Looks like Kohli lost confidence after his performance in Eng and Aus. He might be confined only to Indian Pitches in Future. #INDvWI

India and West Indies have now embarked their journey of ICC World Test Championship, 2019-21, which is currently topped by Sri Lankan team. On Day 1, West Indies pacers Shannon Gabriel and Kemar Roach were stand out bowlers where the former took the wicket of Virat Kohli by dismissing him just at 9 runs. Meanwhile, Rishabh Pant and Ravindra Jadeja are batting on the crease for India and will look forward to taking the inning as deep as possible.
