On Ravichandran Ashwin's Successor In Team India, Sunil Gavaskar's Massive "Ahead Of Him" Verdict For Youngster

Ravichandran Ashwin has retired. The sudden announcement that came after India drew with Australia in the third Test of the Border Gavaskar Trophy has left a big void in the team. Not only was Ashwin the world's highest active wicket-taker (537 scalps in 106 matches) but he was an able batter and a shrewd tactician too. But now, India will have to manage without him starting from the Boxing Day Test match in Melbourne. So who is going to be Ashwin's successor in the Indian team? Washington Sundar looks to be the obvious choice. He played the first Test in Perth, while Ravichandran Ashwin played the second in Adelaide. Ravindra Jadeja played the third Test in Brisbane as the lone spinner.
