However, there were many memorable moments that will live on in cricket history. In a recent video that he posted to social media, R Ashwin selected three such instances.
He brought up how, during the fourth Test at Old Trafford, Washington Sundar and Ravindra Jadeja declined to shake hands with Ben Stokes. There was some conflict among the players as Jadeja and Sundar wanted to get their hundreds while the England skipper was content to settle for a draw.
Cricket fans all throughout the world immensely loved the five-match Test series between India and England as the two best sides battled it out for the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy. The series ultimately ended in a 2-2 stalemate, though, and the trophy did not have its first champion.
Additionally, R Ashwin brought out the touching incident at the conclusion of the third Test at Lord’s where Joe Root and Crawley attempted to comfort a heartbroken Mohammed Siraj after he was dismissed in one of the most regrettable ways imaginable. After dismissing Gus Atkinson on the last day of the fifth Test at The Oval, the Tamil Nadu spinner concluded with Siraj’s trademark celebration in the manner of Cristiano Ronaldo.
At Old Trafford, India declined to shake hands with Ben Stokes and Crawley. 2. Following the defeat at Lord’s, Root and Crawley approached Mohammed Siraj, who was crouching. 3. In a video posted to his official YouTube page, R Ashwin remarked, “When Siraj performed his signature celebration after removing Gus Atkinson at The Oval.”
“The way we have performed in the current administration, I don’t think they will go in quest of an extra bowler. In Indian conditions, I believe they will substitute Kuldeep Yadav for the seamer. That’s what ought to and will occur. It’s possible that Axar will play with them as well. It’s important to remember that we have previously loaded our team with spinners at home. It will be extremely tough for South Africa and the West Indies to select Kuldeep Yadav, thus he must play the home Test matches. I’m not sure who they would leave out of the starting lineup, but we can assume that he would play.”
