The nature of the pitch may prompt Kohli to play his third specialist seamer in Bhuvneshwar Kumar in place of the suspended Ravindra Jadeja. Bhuvneshwar has done well in the few chances he has got in the Test team during the Kohli era.For seaming conditions, he has been Kohli's 'Go To Man'. How big a 3-0 series win will be is still debatable considering the quality of the opposition. In all, India have played four such series where they have won all Test matches. A win in the third Test will also strengthen chief coach Ravi Shastri's claim that "this team is capable of breaking new ground".
