Ravichandran Ashwin Has Been Phenomenal In The Last Five Games: Aakash Chopra

Speaking on his YouTube channel, Aakash Chopra said that the Indian spinner has been economical and taken wickets every time in the T20s.

“Ashwin has been phenomenal in the last five games, if we see from the Afghanistan match to the second T20I. He has played five consecutive matches, has been economical every time and taken wickets every time. Everyone is asking how Ashwin has turned it around? But he hasn’t rediscovered anything,” Aakash Chopra said.

Chopra also mentioned that Ravichandran Ashwin has always performed in the Indian Premier League in the past seasons and is a four-over bank for any team.

“He had not gone anywhere, you had not picked him. If you see any one year in the last eight to ten years, when was Ashwin hit in the IPL? He plays 14 matches, he is a four-over bank. He was a four-over bank when he was dropped as well.

“There have been three IPLs in between, he was a four-over bank there as well. He never gives more than 25-30 runs in his four overs, once in a while everyone gets hit, and he takes wickets as well,” Aakash Chopra added.
