Ravichandran Ashwin picks his all-time international cricket XI
Indian off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has picked his all-time international cricket eleven in a contest named #AskAshwinContest organised by Sportstar. Sportstar recently tweeted the same in their official twitter handle and the off-spinner has also retweeted the same.
Here is the tweet
The talented spinner who is currently playing in the IPL 2016 for the Rising Pune Supergiants franchise retweeted it.
The team looks like these: Sachin Tendulkar, Adam Gilchrist, Jacques Kallis, Brian Lara, Inzamam-ul-Haq, Steve Waugh, Michael Bevan, Lance Klusener, Shane Warne, Wasim Akram and Glenn Mcgrath.
A user named Kala Mani asked the spinner “who are the players you will pick in your all-time international cricket xi” in the contest and Ashwin replied him with the team he has chosen. After tweeting this, Ashwin also tried to steer away any controversy regarding his team by tweeting
The off-spinner tried to be on the safer side by picking a team which mostly consists of players who belong from the past generation. Ashwin,who is currently one of the best spinners in the world, is very active on social networking sites and has often trolled people who have tried to have a go at him.
Ashwin also picked his favourite spinner when someone asked him about his favourite spinner. Sportstar also tweeted the same
Ashwin’s favourite spinner
He picked the Indian legend Anil Kumble as his favourite spinner. The legendary spinner had also heaped praises on Ashwin by calling him the best spinner in the world right now. Ashwin who made his test debut in 2011 has metamorphosed into one of the best spinners in the world right now with his exemplary performances.
He has already picked up 176 wickets in 32 tests at an excellent average of 25.39. On Indian conditions, he seemed to have become the new match-winner for India in tests as he almost single-handedly bamboozled the Proteas in the test series to help India win 3-0. He with his guile and loop has deceived the best in the business and earned accolades from the cricket intelligentsia.
