"If He's Picked...": New Zealand Great Daniel Vettori Backs Ravichandran Ashwin To Do Well In T20 World Cup

Former New Zealand spinner Daniel Vettori feels Ravichandran Ashwin's ability to adapt quickly and his vast knowledge of the Australian conditions will help him during the T20 World Cup. When it comes to pace and bouncy pitches Down Under, spin bowlers are not that effective and India have the likes of Ashwin, Yuzvendra Chahal and Axar Patel in their ranks for the ICC event in October-November. "We all know Ashwin has been exceptional in Tests. The thing for him is he's coming off a great IPL, and he's obviously included in the T20 squad for India," the former New Zealand captain, who is here to play the second edition of the Legends League Cricket, told reporters.
