Ravichandran Ashwin averages nearly 50 while Virat Kohli averages a little over 20 in the current crop of India's batsmen against England.
Ashwin has been in spectacular form with the ball over the last two years but his batting has also evolved. He scored two hundreds in the West Indies besides picking up a bagful of wickets. Against England, Ashwin averages 49.86 and surprise, surprise - guess where Virat Kohli lies in the list? Right at the bottom with an average of 20.13. But the poor numbers are largely due to a horror tour of England in 2014.
All that could change pretty quickly given Kohli's form. Besides his exploits in limited-overs cricket, the Delhi run-machine has also slammed double hundreds in successive series against West Indies and New Zealand.
