R Ashwin shares a hilarious exchange with captain Rohit Sharma during India vs Bangladesh 1st Test in Chennai
Ravichandran Ashwin , India's all-rounder, recently joked with skipper Rohit Sharma during the Chennai Test against Bangladesh . India's remarkable 280-run triumph on September 22 was mostly attributed to Ashwin's outstanding performance, therefore underlining his constant ability and influence on the game.
Ashwin, 38, is getting praises for his dependability and game-changing efforts even as the Indian cricket team moves to a younger roster. In a recent YouTube video, he related a funny incident prompted by his wife, Prithi Narayanan, who raised age issues when they were seeing Duleep Trophy highlights.
This highlighted the friendship between the two seasoned players as Ashwin teased Rohit gently about their ages. Ashwin and Rohit have always supported the Indian team, demonstrating that experience can still be brilliantly shining in the face of a young team.
"We were watching some highlights the day before yesterday. My wife told me something: 'These off-spinners, won't they be abusing you in their minds while bowling?' I wondered why and realised they must be thinking 'when will he leave for us to get a break?'. Suddently, I felt a little off. I realised, yes, I am in that phase now. Even when we were young, we used to wonder about our place in the side. Everbody does it. When I look at it now, it brings me to reality. I makes you realise you have played for a lot of years," Ashwin said on his Youtube channel as quoted by ANI.
"I saw a graphic on the official broadcasting channel. They had put year-wise break-up and it ended with number 38. I am alone in that club. Then suddenly I saw Rohit, he was passing by. I asked him 'when is your birthday?'. He said it was coming. I am waiting for his birthday. Then we will be of the same age for sometime," Ashwin said.
Ravichandran Ashwin not only scored his sixth Test century but also grabbed six wickets in the Chennai Test, earning him the Player of the Match accolasion. Having similarly success in 2021, this acknowledgement represents his second straight Player of the Match accolade in Chennai.
Having four times the amazing feat of making a century and collecting five wickets in the same Test, Ashwin is currently second only to Ian Botham. His superb fourth-inning performance has confirmed his rank among India's best bowlers.
Ashwin has exceeded Anil Kumble's previous record of 94 with 99 wickets in fourth innings, therefore demonstrating his indispensible value for India's bowling attack. India's 1-0 advantage in the two-match series against Bangladesh owes much to his extraordinary efforts.
