Former Australian captain Ricky Ponting chose Kuldeep Yadav in front of the dreaded R Ashwin for the first test in Adelaide.
Ponting thinks that although Ashwin could keep things tight, he would play with a roulette wheel to grab the wickets in Australian conditions. He did not choose Ishant Sharma or Jasprit Bumrah as his rapids.
"Their fast bowling brigade would be composed of Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Umesh Yadav and Mohammed Shami. Probably the attack with which I would like to go. Shami is a very good reverse thrower, Bhuvneshwar is very good with the all-new ball, "said Ponting at cricket.com.au.

By acting from the composition of the spin attack, the legendary drummer estimates that conditions in Australia could play a role in the selection and that it would therefore play a spinner on the wrist.
"I would go with Kuldeep. I know what Ashwin can do, he can play very tight, but I do not know how many wickets he can get in Australian conditions, especially in Adelaide, then in Perth. He will play an important role under these conditions, "he added.
Jasprit Bumrah, who was recently India's best bowler, has been impressive in his short career as a tester. now, but according to Ponting, the Indian team management should treat it with caution.
"That will keep Bumrah on the ice, Yadav will offer a bit more with the new balloon and Shami potentially with reverse inversion, "Ponting said.
