Rahul Dravid hopes he doesn’t quit anytime soon. Ravi Shastri would like to see him harass batsmen for at least two more years, while Anil Kumble is baffled that he is not a regular in India’s overseas matches. If Ravichandran Ashwin needed to be proven to be a rare talent, three national team coaches (one current and two former) were on the same night, on the same platform , almost simultaneously and enthusiastically offering this.
“I hope he’s not done yet. He pushed spin bowling forward through his hard work, dedication and innovation. It’s a great legacy. Bravo! Well done for inspiring a whole generation of young spin bowlers Sportsperson,” Dravid said in a speech. The Tamil Nadu Cricket Association (TNCA) organized a celebration to celebrate Ashwin crossing the 500-wicket mark and completing 100 Tests.
“He’s always eager to contribute to the team’s success. I really enjoy my time with him,” “The Wall” added.
What stands out for Dravid is Ashwin’s drive for excellence and curiosity about a game filled with uncertainty, which he finds challenging as a coach.
“The thing about him is he challenges you, and as a coach you want that. Looking forward to many more memories like that with him. He’s one of a kind.”
Dravid’s predecessor Shastri used his distinctive baritone voice to urge Ashwin to continue playing with the batsman for a few more years.
“Huge achievement. This is no joke. Wish you all the best. I’m sure you have a lot of cricket left. Spinners mature with age. Very proud. Well done, enjoy and keep harassing the batsmen for at least a few more It will take many years,” Shastri said.
Kamble, whose 619 wickets remains the most telling benchmark for an Indian bowler in Test history, spoke of Ashwin’s exciting contribution to India’s success over the past decade.
“In my book, he is one of the best to represent the country. His statistics are outstanding. He is overwhelmingly correlated with his and India’s success. He is never satisfied and always wants more, “Kamble said. He was present in person and said.
The former India captain feels that Ashwin might have reached his 100th Test earlier if he had not been ignored in overseas Tests.
“He should have played his 100th game earlier. However, when India travels abroad, he is not always selected, which confuses me.”
Kamble called the 37-year-old a leader who doesn’t need to hear any appointment in the Indian dressing room.
“Although he is not officially the captain of India, he has been a leader in the dressing room. It is great to see him dedicating his 500th wicket to his proud father. He still has some quality in international and IPL cricket. Looking forward to seeing more from him.” Ashwin’s long-time spin bowling partner Ravindra Jadeja and captain Rohit Sharma are looking forward to the championship bowler Able to create more memories.
“Your contribution to the Indian team is priceless. Looking forward to more,” Jadeja said in a virtual message.
