"He Is Permanent Player Now...": Sourav Ganguly Lavishes Praise On Young India Batter

Team India registered a 2-1 win over Australia in the four-match Test series and clinched the prestigious Border-Gavaskar Trophy once again. In the entire series, the Rohit Sharma-led side found many positives in the form of Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin, who gave all-round performances and bagged the joint Player of the Tournament award. Apart from them, one player who utterly impressed everyone was young batter Shubman Gill, who smashed his second Test ton during the fourth match. Gill replaced an out-of-form KL Rahul in the Playing XI and truly lived up to the expectations. As both teams are now gearing up for the iconic World Test Championship final, which will be played at the Oval, many discussions are going on over the ideal opening pair for Team India.

Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja, arguably the most-potent spin pair in the world at the moment, were named as joint-men of the series after India secured a 2-1 triumph over Australia in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.

Ravichandran Ashwin's Hilarious Reaction To Cheteshwar Pujara's Bowling Leaves Everyone In Splits

It was a rare sight on Monday as Cheteshwar Pujara was introduced into the bowling attack by India skipper Rohit Sharma. It was the final overs on Day 5 of the fourth Test match in Ahmedabad and the match was clearly headed towards a draw. Pujara bowled a tidy over and ended up conceding just one run which was lauded by the commentators. Pujara had a clean bowling action and former Indian cricket team skipper Sunil Gavaskar remarked on commentary that his bowling style even resembled the Australia great Shane Warne. Ravichandran Ashwin also had a brilliant reaction to his bowling.

"This Is A Game Of Second Innings": Ravichandran Ashwin's Clear Message After Five-Wicket Haul Against Australia

Little tweaks in technique after an underwhelming tour of Bangladesh has worked wonders for Ravichandran Ashwin, who will go to bed on Friday night "feeling a lot better" as his spells against the Australians had "more penetration". "You can go to bed feeling a lot better instead of having just three wickets in your kitty," Ashwin said after the end of second day's play in the series-deciding fourth Test. "It does feel good as you end up with good bag of wickets, even if you don't bowl sometimes, you feel good about it. I will go to bed tonight a bit early and a bit happier." Ashwin has taken 24 wickets in the series so far with an innings left to bowl, but his 6/91 in 47.2 overs will certainly go down as one of his best efforts on a flat deck, after having got a chance to ply his trade on some of the spinner-friendly conditions.

Ravichandran Ashwin added another feather to his already illustrious Test career by becoming the Indian bowler with the greatest number of five-wicket hauls at home.

This was also his 32nd five-wicket haul in total – sixth-highest in the world.

Ravichandran Ashwin Drops Six Points, Tied With James Anderson As No. 1 Test Bowler

Premier India off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin lost six rating points but still remained joint number one Test bowler with England quick James Anderson in the ICC rankings released on Wednesday. Ashwin, who surged to No. 1 in Test bowling rankings last week, took just four wickets in the two innings in the third Test against Australia in Indore.

"There Was A Thought": Ex-India Star Identifies Unlikely Hero For Visitors In Indore Test

Former India opener Aakash Chopra pointed out the reasons behind India's defeat against Australia in the third Test encounter in Indore and even identified an ‘unlikely' hero of sorts for the visitors. The former cricketer was all praise for Umesh Yadav who thrilled everyone with his brand of fast bowling in the first innings. Umesh was in fiery form as he claimed three wickets and was able to produce pace on a wicket that completely supported the spinners. Chopra also lauded Ravichandran Ashwin for his bowling but was critical of a few batters including Shreyas Iyer for their shot selections on the wicket.
