XtraTime Web Desk: Ace Indian off spinner Ravichandran Ashwin on Thursday hailed the efforts of the fast bowlers and said that the rhythm they have been showing over the recent series has been phenomenal.
“They have been some great rhythm, sometimes you feel something’s happening in every spell they are bowling or at least they make it happen. Shami,Umesh and Ishant have been bowling well as a pack. Add Bumrah to it and it becomes one of the most lethal pace bowling attacks in the world,” said Ashwin to the mediapersons after the first day’s play at Indore.
The off-spinner became the third Indian spinner to claim 250 plus wickets on home soil after Anil Kumble and Harbhajan Singh. Ashwin, who picked a couple of Bangladesh wickets, including Mahmudullah was a bit surprised at the Bangladesh captain’s decision to bat first on winning the toss.
“Personally, I thought it was a very brave decision, we expected them to bowl first but they batted. However, the way they batted was commendable, few of their batsmen played well. It is never easy to bat on a surface which has life and which is damp and I thought Mominul and some of them batted well,” said Ashwin.
