Ravichandran Ashwin continues to play an important position for the Indian crew within the Test format, however, of late, the participant has remained out of favour within the limited-overs cricket very often. The right-arm off-spinner has thus far taken 449 Test wickets with as many as 30 five-wicket hauls to his title being solely the seventh bowler within the format to take action. Reliable and technically sound batting is simply one other trait of the all-rounder. What makes Ashwin all extra particular is the best way with which he controls his nerves beneath stress conditions.
In a latest interview, Ashwin was requested a query relating to his stature as an all-rounder that concerned the title of the good Kapil Dev, and the reply from the present India participant was gold.
When requested if he anticipated himself to grow to be “the most successful all-rounder after Kapil Dev”, Ashwin stated that the 1983 World Cup-winning captain is just not solely a “great Indian cricketer” however “one of the greatest” the world has seen.
“I don’t want to sound too humble or too skeptical. But when you do something in your life, you want to be the best at what you want to do, right? Kapil Dev is not just a great Indian cricketer, but is one of the greatest cricketers the world has seen. And if you take up the bat and the ball, I suggest, any child, any kid that is taking the ball or the bat today must be aspiring to be the best in the world. It doesn’t matter who’s done it in the past, you have to want to be the best in the world,” Ashwin advised New Indian Express.
