Former India cricketer Aakash Chopra has lavished praise on star India spinner Ravi Ashwin, adding that he is the Indian men’s team’s greatest asset at the moment.
Ravi Ashwin played a crucial role in India’s overwhelming victory over Australia in the inaugural Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2023, which is currently being played in Nagpur. In Australia’s second innings, he concluded with 5/37, leaving the visitors frantically hunting for solutions.

The former batter felt that Ashwin’s services to Indian cricket should be highly maintained and treasured, as a mix of intelligence and enormous skill is extremely unusual in sports. Ashwin’s ability to combine his exceptional spin talents and confuse the opposition has greatly assisted India in many unusual scenarios.
Chopra went on to explain that what distinguishes the 36-year-old from other spinners is that, regardless of the pitch conditions, Ashwin is typically the biggest wicket-taker. His constancy is his most notable quality.
“When speaking with a large number of players, you will hear that these pitches are quite poor and that bowling here will result in wickets. Not everyone gets wickets. In a match with four or five spinners, he still takes the most wickets.”

Chopra concluded by stating that Ashwin has perfected the art of capturing wickets. However, Chopra believes that defensive batting standards have declined in recent years, but that comparing various eras would be unfair.
“It indicates that he knows how to pick up wickets in a variety of conditions. Regardless of the batsman who faces him, he finds a way to get wickets. Although you shouldn’t compare eras, one thing has changed: the defensive play of hitters has diminished slightly “He reached a conclusion.
