“I Am Indebted To MS Dhoni”: R Ashwin’s Humble Praise For Legendary Captain Ahead Of IPL 2024 | Cricket News

[ad_1] Overwhelmed by emotion and filled with gratitude at being grandly feted for hitting the 500-wicket mark in Tests, Ravichandaran Ashwin on Saturday recalled the one man he would forever be "indebted to" for showing faith in a "nobody" 13 years ago -- his first IPL and India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni. With 516 scalps in 100 Tests, Ashwin is a bonafide superstar in Indian cricket, just second behind the great Anil Kumble in the list of top Indian wicket-takers in the five-day format.But it was not the case back in 2008 when he was roped in as a local spinner by Chennai Super Kings. He did not get a game that year as the legendary Muttiah Muralitharan led their spin attack.Dhoni flung the new ball to Ashwin in the 2011 IPL final against Royal Challengers Bangalore and the then rook...

“Keep Harassing…”: Ravi Shastri Tells R Ashwin But Anil Kumble ‘Perplexed’ | Cricket News

He has moved the craft of spin bowling through his hard work, dedication and innovation. That's a great legacy to have. Fantastic! Well done and inspired a whole generation of young spinners," Dravid said during a felicitation function organised by the Tamil Nadu Cricket Association (TNCA) to celebrate Ashwin c...
