Xtra Time Web Desk: Team India star off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin delivered a stupendous bowling performance during the second ODI against Australia at Indore on Sunday which paved the way for 99 runs win (DLS method) for the home team. Ashwin’s spell on a batting friendly track was nothing short of phenomenal, as he managed to claim three crucial wickets while conceding just 41 runs in his quota of 7 overs. Ashwin’s remarkable performance helped India restrict Australia to a total of 217 runs, as they chased a revised target of 317 runs in 33 overs due to rain interruptions.
Yuzvendra Chahal, who had been notably omitted from the squad for the Asia Cup 2023 and ICC World Cup 2023, took to social media to express his admiration for Ashwin’s brilliance. Chahal’s tweet underscored Ashwin’s legendary status in the cricketing world, emphasizing that the mention of Ashwin’s name alone suffices to acknowledge his extraordinary contribution to the game.
“Ravichandran Ashwin name is enough @ashwinravi99 #Legend,” he wrote on X (formerly Twitter)
Ashwin dismissed Marnus Labuschagne, David Warner, and Josh Inglis, essentially breaking the backbone of the Australian batting lineup. This exceptional display of skill and precision with the ball left cricket enthusiasts and players alike in awe of his talent.
