The Turbunator had said,“What we used to get, can be termed as ‘little favour’ and what happens now is ‘lot of favour’. There are hell and heaven of a difference between the two. There should be a balance between bat and ball. Neither the batsman nor the bowler should get an extra advantage. Skill should be the deciding factor and not the conditions. Once the conditions start playing a bigger role, skill falls behind.” However, in Harbhajan Singh’s criticism many have come in support of Ashwin, including the likes of present Indian Test skipper Virat and former cricketer Maninder Singh . Not happy from the media reports, Ravichandran Ashwin, himself has come out in order to cool things off as he tweeted.

By pitting players against each other we aren't going to gain anything but just a juicy headline.Lets respect ppl and keep the game healthy
