Lead trainer Rahul Dravid questioned whether India missed a stunt by excluding veteran spinner Ravichandran Ashwin in the post-match public interview. He said that when they glanced at the pitch, it had plenty of grass and decided to proceed with Shardul Thakur.
He added that the ball didn't spin much on the wicket at Edgbaston, and the absence of sun implies the pitch didn't break towards the most recent two days.
