All eyes were on spin twins Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja as Team India hit the nets here at the Melbourne Cricket Ground yesterday. India coach Ravi Shastri had opened up a can of worms on Sunday, stating that Jadeja was not 100 per cent fit for selection in Perth.

However, Jadeja bowled untroubled and with vigour for most of the session, boosting his chances to be in the final XI of the third Test. Ashwin also looked to be moving freely as he bowled close to an hour, unhindered by the left side abdominal strain he suffered during the first Test match in Adelaide. The off-spinner started a bit gingerly, but as the session progressed, he was clearly putting more body into the delivery. Ashwin's progress was closely monitored by physio Patrick Farhat, the pair constantly indulging in a conversation throughout the session.
