He might be a left-armer but he brings the ball in to the right handed batsmen just like an off-spinner but his googly's are way more tricky. And I don't see India playing with 2 spinners. So tough luck for both Ashwin and Jadeja specially with Kohli who is known to throw in some unexpected suprises every now and then.
Don't think, Kohli will be tempted to bring Kuldeep at the cost of Ashwin unless the former continues his exceptional performance in all limited overs.

Because then sony would not be able to personalized the feed for Indian viewers as the only Indian commentator in sky coverage is Harbhajan singh (not confirmed as I watched sony's coverage).
& For years star sports done the same thing when they had the rights (own commentators & graphics) whenever India tour overseas (australia or england) to give it some Indian flavour.
& In my thinking when there are so many english commentators doing commentary (sky sports) there is always a silence between two balls. (boring commentators)
 
Like to see caribbean, NZ commentators on panel with Harsha, Ganguly, Sanjay & Wilkins. Don't like any other Indian commentary including Sunny Gavaskar.

True also if the latter performs below the expectations of his own. Anyways whoever gets selected, let's hope they perform well and help India win the test series..
