Ashwin shared the picture
With anticipation rising for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia, Ravichandran Ashwin, one of the finest spinners in the world, has been the main focus of discussion. Ahead of this series, Ashwin shared a hilarious picture of his edited bio.
The veteran spinner on Sunday shared a picture of his edited bio with the caption, “My morning coffee came with this and I wonder who did this.” In the bio, it is written as Ashwin’s bowling style, my morning coffee came with it and I wonder who did it both “right arm off-break, and right arm leg-break”.
Responding to Ashwin’s post, his Indian Premier League (IPL)IPL) franchise, Rajasthan Royals posted, “Hello and welcome to Day 1 of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.”
Ashwin has a number of variations in his bowling style, including leg-breaks and the carrom ball, which he can use to bowl out the Australian batting when the two teams face off in the first Test in Nagpur. After this the remaining Tests will be played in Delhi, Dharamshala and Ahmedabad. Keeping the WTC in mind, this series is very important for both the teams.
