Ravichandran Ashwin Says Ravindra Jadeja 'More Gifted Than He Can Ever Be': "Doesn't Get..."

Former India cricketer Ravichandran Ashwin reserved blockbuster praise for Chennai Super Kings (CSK) teammate Ravindra Jadeja, calling him "more gifted than he can ever be". During the first ODI against England on Thursday, Jadeja picked up three wickets for just 26 runs in his nine overs, helping India beat the visitors by 4 wickets. While speaking on his YouTube channel, Ashwin believes Jadeja doesn't get enough recognition, and only comes under the radar when the team is not doing well.

On Rohit Sharma Outburst Over Poor Form Query, R Ashwin's Sharp "People Will Ask Questions" Verdict

Former India cricketer Ravichandran Ashwin has shared his views on captain Rohit Sharma's recent outburst over a question on his concerning form ahead of the Champions Trophy. Ahead of the 1st ODI against England, Rohit lashed out at a journalist after he asked him whether he was feeling comfortable after the change in format following a poor Test tour of Australia, where he managed 31 runs across five innings. Rohit also responded to reports suggesting that the BCCI is likely to take a call on his future after the Champions Trophy.

Ravindra Jadeja Achieves Huge Milestone, Only Four Other Indians Have Done It

During the first ODI against England at the Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium on Thursday, Indian left-arm spinner Ravindra Jadeja completed 600 international wickets across all formats. Jadeja snapped three wickets in his spell of nine overs where he conceded just 26 runs and bowled one maiden overs. The 36-year-old took the wickets of Joe Root, Jacob Bethell, and Adil Rashid in his spell. With these three wickets, the Saurashtra-born player completed the 600-wicket mark and became the fifth player to do so. The other players to achieve the same landmark were leg-spinner Anil Kumble, off-spinners Ravichandran Ashwin and Harbhajan Singh, and all-rounder Kapil Dev.

"Don't Think Rohit Sharma Will Step Back, Virat Kohli Has To...": R Ashwin's Champions Trophy Verdict

As the countdown for the ICC Champions Trophy begins, the stalwarts Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma are back in focus again. After playing important roles in India's success at the T20 World Cup 2024, Kohli and Rohit have big expectations on their shoulders again. However, neither of the two have had form going their way in recent events. In fact, skipper Rohit's ultra-aggressive approach has often left the team in problematic situations. Yet, former India international Ravichandran Ashwin, doesn't expect Rohit to alter his style. Hence, he has asked Virat Kohli to act as a 'bridge' for the team.

Sanju Samson "Trying To Show His Ego": India's World Cup Winner Gives Brutal 'Missed The Bus' Verdict On Star

With 51 runs in five innings against England in the five-match T20 series, Indian opener Sanju Samson is facing the heat over his lack of form, with former teammate Ravichandran Ashwin and ex-captain Kris Srikkanth criticising the wicketkeeper batter for the similar manner of his dismissals. India's 4-1 win over England in the recent five-match T20I series has proven that the team is doing well, but it could not hide some of the issues plaguing it -- like the poor form of opening batter Samson.

R Ashwin Sends Blunt Message To Rohit Sharma, Wants Change In India's Champions Trophy Squad

India's Champions Trophy squad has been out for a while, but certain players' performances in the recently-concluded T20I series against England have triggered talks of 'changes'. While India have picked up 4 spinners for the marquee ICC event, veteran all-rounder Ravichandran Ashwin has asked for Varun Chakravarthy to be added to the squad. Chakravarthy was brilliant with the ball against England, picking up 14 wickets in 5 matches as he was deservedly named the player of the series. Chakravarthy hasn't yet played an ODI for India but is likely to make his debut in the 50-over assignment against England.

Ravichandran Ashwin may be retired from international cricket, but he remains an astute reader and watcher of the game, and provides his analysis on a number of things. In his latest video, Ashwin has implied that despite India's thumping 4-1 T20I series victory over England, all may not be rosy. Ashwin pointed out a flaw in the batting of captain Suryakumar Yadav and Sanju Samson, stating that they're repeatedly getting out playing similar shots and on similar deliveries. To drive home his point, Ashwin even made a hilarious Rajinikanth movie reference.
