While lauding Ashwin for his performance post the T20 World Cup 2021, Chopra said that the off-spinner will play the role of defensive bowler to perfection but was skeptical about his performance when the team would be needing wickets from him. Ashwin made a return to the T20I format after eight months and has since taken three wickets in as many games.
