Ravichandran Ashwin, the maestro off-spinner of Team India, disclosed the jovial camaraderie he shares with his teammates Mohammed Siraj and Suryakumar Yadav. Even in the heat of a match, the banter between them remains alive and kicking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a recent YouTube video, Ashwin revealed the light-hearted teasing he endures from Siraj and Suryakumar, especially when he clinches a crucial wicket. It seems Siraj has made it his mission to rib Ashwin whenever the opportunity presents itself, with Suryakumar readily joining in the fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“It’s teasing, but there’s also affection and praise in it,” Ashwin explained, showcasing his amicable bond with the duo. Despite the jesting, Ashwin expressed his enjoyment of the banter, emphasizing its role in fostering team spirit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With Ashwin being the standout performer in the recent Test series against England, claiming the highest number of wickets, his on-field banter only adds to his dynamic persona. He emerged as the top wicket-taker of the series, amassing 26 dismissals and reaching significant milestones in his illustrious career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Notably, Ashwin’s journey in the series was marked by milestones, including his 500th Test wicket and his 100th Test appearance. However, it was the final Test in Dharamsala that showcased not only Ashwin’s prowess but also the brilliance of his teammate Kuldeep Yadav.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a spectacular display of spin bowling, Ashwin and Kuldeep wreaked havoc on the English batting lineup. While Ashwin’s performance was stellar with nine wickets to his name, it was Kuldeep’s impactful five-wicket haul on the first day that turned the tide in India’s favor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Despite Ashwin’s outstanding contribution, he gracefully acknowledged Kuldeep’s pivotal role in shaping the outcome of the match. Refraining from personal accolades, Ashwin asserted that Kuldeep deserved the Man of the Match award for his game-changing performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
