5 reasons why England won't be able to repeat the series win of 2012 against India

3. A rejuvenated Ashwin

Although the Indian spinner was a part of the Indian squad against England on the previous occasion as well, yet he will be a bigger threat than the last time. His performances in the last couple of years have been extraordinary and his skills with spin have reached another level altogether.

He is the number 1 Test bowler in the world currently and has been running through the sides consistently. He has been winning the man of the series awards more constantly than anyone else ever. England will have to bat out of their skins and tackle the 30-year-old to have any chance of winning this time around.
