Ashwin talks about Sunil Narine's bowling action

Talking about Sunil Narine's bowling action, Ashwin said that he doesn't want to get into that topic but admitted that it's wrong according to his policy. Although Ashwin refrained from delving deeper into Narine's disputed bowling action, he acknowledged the KKR spinner's good performance in the IPL 2024 season. 

R Ashwin also praised Jasprit Bumrah's performance in IPL 2024, saying that the Indian pacer has got a really good release point. Ashwin said that Bumrah's unique release point works to his advantage.   

“Bumrah has a really good unique point – He has got a distinct advantage compared to other pacers due to his release point. I won’t talk about Sunil Narine. It’s wrong according to my policy. Narine was also getting hit 2-3 seasons ago. This season he’s been outstanding. But let’s not get into that topic,” Ashwin said on his YouTube channel.
