Ravichandran Ashwin

The Champions Trophy competition for men and the ODI World Cup for women were held in 2025, and the Men's and Women's T20 World Cups will take place in 2026.

Even in a T20-first era, Test cricket will continue to have a place, according to Ashwin, but ODIs might not have the same assurance.

Given that both Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli have retired from Test and T20Is, the games were a significant opportunity for supporters to watch the premium batters in action.

Former cricketer Ravichandran Ashwin came out in support of Rajinikanth’s Coolie, saying he enjoyed the film when he watched it on OTT without distractions despite widespread online criticism. Questioning social media review culture, Ashwin argued that while critics may spot flaws, personal viewing experience ultimately matters more.

Among the uncapped Indian wicketkeepers in the auction pool are Kartik Sharma and Tushar Raheja, both of whom have a base price of Rs 30 lakh.

A total of 350 cricketers, including 240 Indians, will go under the hammer at the IPL auction to take place in Abu Dhabi on December 16.

The debate had originally started with Goswami suggesting the management to try Tilak Varma instead of Washington Sundar for the No. 5 role.

Ashwin also questioned the Indian team selection after all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy's exclusion from the playing XI in the first ODI against South Africa, despite Hardik Pandya being unavailable.

R Ashwin, Rohit Sharma, and Virat Kohli all retired from Tests within a span of five months, taking away a considerable amount of experience from the side.

In a recent YouTube discussion with AB de Villiers, R Ashwin chose to highlight that aspect of "GG," transforming a query about Gambhir into a more general support of India's new T20 format.

Ashwin stated that while he recognizes the need to assign blame in light of India's impressive home record in the past, it is unjust to single out the coach without also questioning the players.

R Ashwin responded to Finch by saying that Temba Bavuma ‘clearly showed that the pitch was manageable with his sound defensive technique.’

R Ashwin was on video-call outside the Sydney Cricket Ground with journalist Vimal Kumar when the incident happened.

In addition to expressing his hope that Kohli will make a strong comeback like Rohit, Ashwin also voiced his worry about the harsh criticism that could follow with another underwhelming performance.

Good news for Rohit Sharma fans was that the former skipper found his grove in the first innings with a gritty 73 off 93 balls. His knock helped India reach 264 for 9.

Kuldeep Yadav was on the bench, Axar Patel and Washington Sundar, both spin-bowling all-rounders, were preferred to play.

Speaking on his official YouTube channel, R Ashwin suggested that players need to be handled better when they are near the end of their careers.

Former off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin questioned Rana's selection for the Australia tour, arguing that the pacer's ascent to the national team started immediately after he hit a spectacular ball to dismiss Nitish Kumar Reddy in the IPL 2024 final.

R Ashwin’s full-season availability for the BBL stems from a simple reason, his ILT20 stint never took off after he went unsold in the opening auction round.

Ravichandran Ashwin, the only player with a six-figure base price of USD 120,000, did not feature in the accelerated auction.
