“Ravichandran Ashwin’s name is enough”- Yuzi Chahal praises Ashwin for his spell in the 2nd ODI against Australia.
Yuzvendra Chahal, the leg-spinner from Team India, expressed his admiration for Ravichandran Ashwin’s exceptional performance in the second ODI against Australia, which took place on Sunday, September 24th.
In his second appearance for the Indian ODI squad since his return, Ashwin played a pivotal role in securing a series-clinching victory for the Men in Blue in Indore. In this highly anticipated contest, India took the bat first and posted a commanding total of 399/5 on the scoreboard.
Initially, the pitch appeared to favor batsmen, given the dominating performance of the Indian batting lineup. However, the scenario underwent a dramatic transformation when Ravichandran Ashwin took charge during the second innings.
The seasoned off-spinner consistently generated spin and managed to disrupt Australia’s pursuit of the target by claiming three crucial wickets. From that point onwards, the visiting team struggled to regain their footing and ultimately found themselves dismissed for a total of 209 runs, resulting in a 99-run loss for Australia
Yuzvendra Chahal was thoroughly impressed by Ashwin’s remarkable performance against the formidable Australian side. He conveyed his reaction to Ashwin’s spell on social media platform X (formerly Twitter) with the following words:
“Just the mention of Ravichandran Ashwin’s name is enough. @ashwinravi99 #Legend #INDvsAUS”
