ravichandran-ashwin
Harbhajan Singh is nothing but praises for Indian spinner Ravichandran Ashwin. Harbhajan Singh has watched the bowler grow and develop into one of the finest spin bowlers India has ever produced. Ashwin played an instrumental role in India’s historic 2-1 Test victory against Australia, picking an impressive 32 wickets in 3 Tests. Bhajji feels that the Tamil Nadu bowler has mastered the playing conditions, which sets him apart from the rest of the spin bowlers. That being said, Harbhajan feels that any youngster watching Ashwin bowl would surely follow his footsteps.
Harbhajan Singh, who was at the zenith of his cricketing career in 2008, saw Ashwin bowl at the inaugural edition of the Indian Premier League. Over the past 22 years, Harbhajan Singh and R Ashwin shared 826 wickets between them. Harbhajan finally concluded by stating that age should not be taken into consideration when a player is at his peak. Ashwin is in the form of his life right now. Hence, Harbhajan stated that trading Ashwin for some young bowlers would not do justice to the former’s ability.
Ashwin is undoubtedly one of the most successful spinners in the world
Off break bowlers have definitely enjoyed a fair amount of success when it comes to the world of spin bowling. The adherents of the right arm-off break bowlers have around 10073 wickets to their name. Their left-handed counterparts, meanwhile, have around 7693 wickets to their name. As far as wrist spinners are considered, the amount for a total tally of 7765 wickets.
Considering the off-break bowlers, Muttiah Muralitharan leads the charts, with an astonishing tally of 800 wickets. His bowling average of around 22.73 is nothing short of remarkable. India’s highest wicket-taking bowler is leg spinner Anil Kumble, with 619 wickets to his name. Harbhajan has 417 wickets while Ashwin has 409 wickets to his name. Considering the fact that Ashwin belongs to an elite group of spin bowlers speaks volumes about his success as a spin bowler.
India has produced several talented spinners since the inception of cricket itself. However, there are only a few who were able to dominate with the ball for a long time. R Ashwin surely does belong to that category. Ashwin still has time left up his sleeve and will look to shatter more records with time.
