Ravichandran Ashwin’s Progress Has Been Amazing, Says Mushtaq Ahmed

Receiving accolades has become an usual affair for Ravichandran Ashwin, who is currently topping the list of bowlers and all-rounders in white jersey. Equipped with as many as seven Player-of-the-Series awards in 42 Tests so far, Ashwin has received some motivational words from the former legendary Pakistan bowler Mushtaq Ahmed.

In a recent interview with PakPassion.net, Pakistan’s bowling coach couldn’t stop showering on Ashwin when asked about his recent performances and what makes him the best bowler in the world right now. The leg-spinner, who petrified even the best on their day, said Ashwin’s role in the Indian team is pivotal, not only as a bowler but also as a batsman.

Ashwin’s progress is amazing and he is playing an important role for India, not only as a bowler but even as a batsman. He is equally effective from round and over the wicket and is making good use of the crease.

Ravichandran Ashwin is the highest wicket-taker in 2016 with 59 wickets in 10 Test matches so far.

The former leg-spinner believes Ashwin’s awareness on the field has made him a better bowler and his ability to outplay the batsman on any given surface will only improve his numbers.

 

On top of that he can literally “play” with the batsman, set fields to perfection and has great situation awareness. All these qualities make Ashwin a top-quality spinner and his results are there for all to see.

In 2016, the 30-year-old has impressed with bat as he has scored 545 runs in 10 matches so far at an average of 45.41. Also, he has hit two centuries in this year at number six position.

Virat Kohli-led India are currently 2-0 up against England in the five-match series. The fourth Test starts from December 8 at the historic Wankhede stadium.
