Hey Pinchers! Sports news time!!
Have you seen the recent test matches of India against England and the previous series against Australia? Which player was the game changer? Today's story is not about India's fighting comeback but it's about a spinner or maybe may I correct myself as I must say that I will probably talk about an all rounder. Yes, you got it right. I am talking about Ravichandran Ashwin.

If spin bowling is an art, then this guy is the Michelangelo. With all due respect, I am not disrespecting other spinners all around the world who are currently playing cricket but let me talk about this special person. In test match, while you are using finger and the red ball, you have to be more effective and skillful and must be lucky with the condition of pitch but here comes this guy who shows us the real magic in test cricket. Not only with the ball but also with the bat.
At any condition, in any country, in any type of pitch, Ravichandran Ashwin shows his excellence as he always tries his best to deliver for his country. The team needs to break partnership of the opponent batsman? Call him. The team needs to build partnership while batting? Here comes the man again.
We probably seen this before in the past but recently we have seen this twice. At first in the Australia series and recently we have seen this in the ongoing England series.
It's a great opportunity for us to witness him performing against all odds. The rise of newcomers, or getting injured while playing, he always overcomes everything & solves the problem alone with his never giving up attitude. I am damn sure that if the great poet Rabindranath Tagore were still alive, he would obviously admire his bowling too with his beautiful song, “Jodi Tor Dak Sune Kew Na Ashe, Tobe Ekla Cholo Re...” which means you have to walk alone if there's no one coming with aid.
Let's face the fear.
Go Ashwin. Go ahead.
Go Ashwin. Go ahead.
