One of the best gamers of his technology, Ravichandran Ashwin has completed wonders in Test cricket, climbing the ladder of success together with his distinctive wicket-taking skills. But, there are those that really feel Ashwin is not the form of participant who needs to be banked upon a lot in white-ball cricket. Despite Ashwin’s slightly topsy-turvy profession in ODIs and T20Is, he has been a part of a number of World Cups (in each codecs). Former India all-rounder Yuvraj Singh, when requested about Ashwin’s white-ball profession, was fast to say that the veteran spinner “doesn’t deserve” a spot in India’s T20I and ODI sides.

In a chat with the Times of India, Yuvraj was fast to level out how good Ashwin is as a red-ball cricketer, however the identical cannot be stated due to what the limited-overs codecs demand from a participant. For Yuvi, Ashwin is a superb bowler however does not convey a lot with the bat and within the area in white-ball codecs.

“Ashwin is a great bowler but I don’t think he deserves a place in ODIs and T20s. He is very good with the ball, but what does he bring with the bat? Or as a fielder? In the Test team, yes, he should be there. But in white-ball cricket, I don’t think he deserves a place,” Yuvraj stated.

Yuvraj and Ashwin have been a part of the Indian group that received the ODI World Cup in 2011. Time and once more, Ashwin has spoken fairly extremely of Yuvraj’s contributions to Indian cricket, particularly contemplating the well being disaster he went by.

In one of many movies on his YouTube channel, Ashwin had revealed how shocked he was upon realizing that he had most cancers.

“Yuvi used to cough, and he used to cough vehemently. I used to think that it is the pressure of the game and he is coughing it off and he used to cough in the middle. Literally, nobody had any idea, at least from the junior segment of the team that he was suffering from a serious illness,” Ashwin had stated.

“When it broke out (the news of Yuvraj having cancer), I was shocked because I did not expect somebody who had just become Player of the series, in fact like I would say, ‘Bharat ka Icon’. That literally was it. I think Sachin Tendulkar played an unbelievably big role in that Yuvraj Singh’s World Cup. I call it the Yuvraj Singh’s World Cup because you name it, he was there in that situation in the centre,” Ashwin added.
