"Please Help": R Ashwin Feels The Pinch Of "Unreal" IPL Ticket Demand, Calls On CSK

R Ashwin is one of the best-performing Indian cricketers in the past one decade. He has been India's best bowler in Tests. Recently, he scalped his 500th wicket during the India vs England Test series. In that same series, he also played his 100th Test for India. But even after doing so much, getting an IPL ticket seems to a tough job like many others. R Ashwin is a resident of Chennai, where the first match of the IPL 2024 will be played between MS Dhoni-led Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore.

"Didn't Allow Challenges To Check His Progress": Anil Kumble On Ravichandran Ashwin

Ravichandran Ashwin's entry into the 500-wicket club has delighted the legendary Anil Kumble who said the off-spinner's immense success over the last decade stems from his desire to learn and ability to rise above constant challenges. At 516 wickets currently, Ashwin is the second highest wicket-taker in Tests for India behind Kumble (619), and the former India leg-spinner wasn't one bit surprised.

"Keep Harassing...": Ravi Shastri Tells R Ashwin But Anil Kumble 'Perplexed'

Rahul Dravid hopes that he doesn't call it quits anytime soon. Ravi Shastri would like to see him harass batters for at least two more years while Anil Kumble finds it perplexing that he isn't a regular in India's overseas fixtures. If ever Ravichandran Ashwin needed validation for being a rare talent, three national coaches -- one current and two former -- provided it heartily on the same evening, at the same platform and almost at the same time.

Sarfaraz Khan Reveals His Instagram Following Grew Exponentially After India Debut

Sarfaraz Khan said on Friday that his father, Naushad, urged him to play domestic matches as if he was playing for the country even when his selection to the Indian team was getting delayed despite scoring tall runs in the national circuit. Sarfaraz finally got the opportunity to play for India during the recently-concluded five-match Test series against England where he showcased his prowess by scoring three half-centuries. Despite an amazing First-Class record of scoring 3,912 runs at an average of 69.85 with 14 centuries, the Mumbai cricketer wasn't getting a break in the India team. Even the legendary Sunil Gavaskar backed his Test selection last year after seeing him score copious amount of runs in domestic cricket.

The third India vs England Test in Rajkot was a special one for Ravichandran Ashwin. On the second day of the Test match, Ashwin dismissed England's Zak Crawley to pocket his 500th Test scalp.
