He took issue with the frequent changes to the opening batting lineup, highlighting the lack of faith shown in Sanju Samson and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi. Ashwin noted that England's approach to backing a struggling Jos Buttler, who scored a century in the final match, contrasted sharply with India's strategy of rotating openers.
