Ravichandran Ashwin (Image Credit- Twitter X) Indian cricket team’s experienced spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has given a big statement about former Indian captain and finishing master MS Dhoni. Ashwin has said that I will be indebted to Dhoni throughout my life for what he has given me. It is noteworthy that before his debut for Team India in 2010, Ashwin was associated with Chennai Super Kings as a local spinner, but due to the presence of a spinner like Muttiah Muralitharan in the team, he did not get a chance to play that season. So, he got a chance to play in the year 2009, but he came into the limelight when Dhoni gave him the first over of the powerplay against Royal Challengers Bangalore in the 2011 IPL final. After this, Ashwin bowled brilliantly and took the important wicket of Chris Gayle on the fourth ball of the first over. After Ashwin’s amazing performance this season, he was directly included in Team India. Ashwin made his Test debut under the captaincy of Dhoni in Delhi against West Indies. So, due to his brilliant bowling in his very first match, he won the Player of the Match award. Big statement given regarding Ashwin regarding Dhoni It is noteworthy that recently Ashwin had touched the figure of 500 wickets in Test cricket. So on this occasion, when Ashwin was honored by the Tamil Nadu Cricket Association, he said during this time- I met all the great players (in the CSK dressing room) during 2008. I sat out IPL 2008, I was nothing then and where can you play in a team which has a spinner like Muttiah Murnidharan. But I will be indebted to Dhoni all my life for what he gave me. He gave me a chance to bowl to Chris Gayle with the new ball and after 17 years Anil (Kumble) bhai is talking about the same episode. I truly feel humbled and grateful to be here. Ashwin further said- Anil Bhai and Rahul Bhai explained to me in a shot that it is difficult to win a debate with you. I think this is true because I believe that logic is one of the greatest paths to excellence. Arguments never happen with a man. It always comes with a lesson at the end.

The performance of Indian team’s young batsman Shubman Gill has not been so good in international Test cricket for some time. He has batted very well in limited overs cricket but has failed to leave his mark in the Test format. Even in the first test, Shubman Gill was not able to score big. Today we tell you three main reasons why dropping Shubman Gill from the second test would be the right decision. 1- Shubman Gill’s performance in the first test was quite disappointing. Shubman Gill (Photo Source: Getty Images) In the first test, Shubman Gill scored 23 runs in the first innings while he was out for zero in the second innings. Gill has not been able to bat well at number three so far. Not only this, his technology is also being heavily criticized. Shubman Gill had hit only two boundaries in both the innings of the first Test against England. In Test cricket, Shubman Gill gets worried about when he has to play aggressive shots and when he has to take his innings forward comfortably. If Gill wants to make a great comeback in Test cricket, he will have to change his batting technique.
