Ravichandran Ashwin

Ravichandran Ashwin weighed-in on the current state of the game, which is dominated by batsmen on favorable pitches.

If you praise someone doesn’t mean you need to demean someone else. These toxic fan armies have damaged Indian cricket and cricketers themselves are to blame for it.

It is the ability to detach and think things through that makes Ravichandran Ashwin different.

Ashwin said that in Indian cricket, game has been overshadowed by player-centric storylines citing the example of his analysis of Shubman Gill's dismissal against New Zealand in Indore back in January where his attention was always on the "what" and "why."

Ravichandran Ashwin believes if the batters do this against Usman Tariq it would put umpires on the spotlight and could potentially make Pakistan's trump card ineffective.

Ashwin underlined that the ICC is ultimately in charge of reviewing the case and rendering a judgment.

Ashwin, who has now turned focus to social media and analysis on YouTube, addressed a recent post that accused him of ‘indirectly attacking’ Kohli.

R Ashwin clarified that Arshdeep's situation was being disregarded while outlining the potential tactical approach.

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.’
