After Being Advised By This Spinner To Give Ball More Air, Ravichandran Ashwin Comes Up With An Uncanny Reply
Jan 9, 2019 at 4:12 PM
Ravichandran Ashwin is in superb form this season as the all-rounder has taken 72 wickets since the West Indies series and there are still five Test matches to go. The offie has reaped maximum advantage of the home conditions as every card he has thrown from his pack has produced best results for him. He has rarely put a foot wrong this season and has been the leading man for the Indian team, an inch ahead of the skipper Virat Kohli.
It is often said when at the peak, a person does not like to tinker with his technique and is reluctant to bring about a change in his style of play. Any suggestions are also not invited. The same thing happened with Ravichandran Ashwin as few days back, former Indian spinner Erapalli Prasanna tipped Ashwin that he should flight the ball little bit more but it did not come good to the current World No. 1 bowler in Tests had a sarcastic reply to Prasanna’s suggestion.
Ashwin took to twitter to reply to the suggestion of former Indian great as he wrote –

Though he did not take any offence by writing this but there seems to be a hidden sarcasm in his tweet. Ashwin should have just ignored this but he chose the other way, which will surely not come good for his fans. He is now a senior member of the team and should take this responsibility with much seriousness.
Erapalli Prasanna is a former right-arm off-break bowler and a member of the Bishan Singh Bedi-led spin quartet. Prassana played a total of 49 Tests in his career spanning 16 years and scalped 189 wickets.
