A brilliant career marked by records and distinctions
Ashwin’s career was marked by his exceptional bowling skills, particularly his ability to outwit batters on turning pitches. Having made his debut for India in 2011, he has accumulated over 500 Test wickets, making him one of the most prolific spinners in the history of the game. His contributions have been vital in many victories of India, particularly at home where he has often been the lynchpin of the bowling attack. His record includes 11 Man of the Series awards in testing, tying him with the legendary Muttiah Muralitharan for the most by any cricketer.
Why Ashwin’s experience makes him a potential coach
The idea of Ashwin taking on the role of selector is not far-fetched, given his deep understanding of the game and experience at the highest level. Cricket selectors are usually former players who bring their on-field knowledge to the selection process, with the aim of building teams capable of performing in a variety of conditions. Ashwin’s analytical mind and his successes in domestic and international cricket make him a potential candidate for such a role. However, his light-hearted response suggests he is not ready to hang up his boots just yet, instead focusing on his current playing career.
