Ashwin was left out of the playing XI for the fourth time in the ongoing Test series against England.
However, Ashwin once again failed to get a place in the playing XI, having already missed out in the first three Tests. Fans and experts were surprised to not find the off-spinner in the side for the penultimate Test.

Amid the outrage, Ashwin’s wife Prithi Narayanan also gave a sarcastic take on his husband’s omission from the team line-up.
Taking to Twitter, Prithi posted a video, in which her daughter can be seen observing the action on the ground using a lense from the stands.
In the caption, Prithi sarcastically wrote: “Looking for @ashwinravi99”.
India skipper Virat Kohli, after England won the toss and elected to bowl first, said, "We have two changes - Ishant and Shami have niggles - Umesh and Shardul are back."
He added, "England has four left-handers, so a good match-up for Jadeja, with our seamers bowling over the wicket."
The visitors went into the Lunch break with 54/3 on the board. Rohit Sharma (11) KL Rahul (17) and Cheteshwar Pujara (4) were the batsmen dismissed in the first session while Kohli (18*) and Ravindra Jadeja (2*) were unbeaten in the middle.
