For a man who was once considered the main spinner of India in all formats, Ravichandran Ashwin is currently a mere spectator who witnesses the rise of Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal in the national cricket team. The consistent performances of Kuldeep and Chahal have pushed Ashwin into the shadows as they continue to be the turnaround duo of India’s first choice.
Then, when the Indian cricket team was busy fighting Australia in the first T20I, Ashwin, like all cricket fans, witnessed the events as they played out in the Gabba. Excited with the size of the limit ropes, Ashwin took Twitter and wrote: “The size of the limits in Australia is a delight for bowlers.”

While Ashwin was absorbed in the exciting contest that was offered, some Indian cricket fans were not very impressed with his tweet about the size of the limits. One fan suggested that, despite the long limits, the Australian hitters would continue to crush the six by six. While the fanatic’s tweet may have been ignored by the Indian spinner, he decided to do the opposite.

Writing a savage response, Ashwin reminded the fans of his bowling statistics of India’s tour of Australia in 2016. “2 for 26, 1 for 27 and 1 for 37 in the 3-0 victory of the last series. friend, “wrote Ashwin on Twitter.

Then, another Indian fan asked the spinner born in Tamil Nadu about his account of windows in Australia. “How many windows in test against Australia in Australia friend?”, Tweeted the fan. To which Ashwin replied, “I’m the one with the records, please take a look. I can’t Google you and find you”.
