Dinesh Karthik absolutely nailed his prediction on India's bowling attack

Speaking to Cricbuzz ahead of the WTC final, Dinesh Karthik had opined that India needed to go with four pacers and a solitary spinner in Ravindra Jadeja. Looking at the conditions, he felt that Ravichandran Ashwin may not play as big a role as he played in the previous WTC final.

Here's what Karthik had stated:

"Leave out Ashwin and play four pacers. I enjoyed Ashwin bowling in Southampton, but is the coach gonna do the same thing again? I doubt it. Umesh Yadav has bowled well in the nets. He is looking sharp, and feeling good body-wise. I have a strong feeling they’ll go with Umesh."

India have gotten off to the perfect start in the WTC final after opting to bowl first as they have sent back the dangerous Usman Khawaja.
