Ahead of the all-important clash, former India spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has taken a swipe at the India National Cricket Team head coach Gautam Gambhir. After India won against the Windies, Gambhir, during the post-match press conference, was asked about how the team depends on data while preparing for a match. In reply, the head coach said he does not believe in data.
Ashwin, while speaking with Vimal Kumar, stated, "See, the coach is saying that he won't use this data and that's fine. It's his modus operandi. Vimal bhai, see, how can I handle this? What is data? Data is anything, no? Data is a wagon wheel. Data is how many balls, which bowlers, which areas."

"See, you can say that in Adil Rashid and Surya's match-up, Adil Rashid bowled so many balls and Surya made so many runs. That could be data. People are actually misunderstanding data. Data is not about giving you the numbers and me just reading them."
England uses data incredibly well- Ravichandran Ashwin
"I hope you understand that. There is one thing in the data interpretation. Addressing the data. England uses data incredibly well. I know that. They use it very well there. You must have heard that Ash thinks a lot about the game. I played my own game. I have massive respect for others who don't want to use data."
Ravichandran Ashwin compares cricket with examination
R Ashwin compared data with an examination, just like a student studies from a book before going to give an exam, a cricketer should study and understand data before playing a match, and it will help the cricketers to work on their weaknesses and strengths as well.
Ravichandran Ashwin finally concluded, saying, "Work with data. What is your strength? What is your weakness? Read it. If you can carry your strength forward, carry it. What is your weakness? Read it and see how to address it. You said I was comfortable. No."
