Sunil Gavaskar: India fortunate to have Ashwin, Jadeja in the team

Ravichandran Ashwin again showed why he is a match-winner in India with a stirring performance at his home ground in Chennai. It is always special to play at home because, as a kid, one has gone to the same stadium and seen so many matches from the stands. The seats in the stands seem so distant from the champions that are playing out there, and now suddenly, some years later, you are the one in…

R Ashwin's Emotional Tribute on 100th Test: A Journey Beyond Cricket

Ravichandran Ashwin, the stalwart of Indian cricket, celebrated a significant milestone as he received his special 100th Test cap from India’s head coach, Rahul Dravid, during the fifth and final Test against England. In an emotional and pride-filled gratitude speech, Ashwin’s words resonated with the essence of Test cricket, reflecting on the profound life lessons the format imparts.

“Test cricket is the closest synergy that you can find to life,” expressed Ashwin, his voice tinged with emotion. While acknowledging the popularity of T20 leagues like the IPL and the aspirations of young cricketers, he emphasized the unique values that Test cricket instills. “It will teach you to adapt, dealing with pressures,” he added, underscoring the importance of the longest format of the game.

Ashwin, who made his Test debut in 2011, took a moment to pay tribute to his father, Ravichandran, who played a pivotal role in shaping his cricketing journey. Recalling his early days, Ashwin vividly remembered his father’s dedication, taking him to coaching camps on a bike, demonstrating a government employee’s unwavering support for his son’s dreams.

Expressing deep gratitude, Ashwin acknowledged the emotional significance of the moment, particularly for his father, who couldn’t be present. He credited his family, including his mother and grandfather, for playing crucial roles in his cricketing journey.

Acknowledging the unwavering support from his wife, Preeti, Ashwin reflected on her significant role during challenging periods. “My wife didn’t know what she was getting into. She’s gotten into it, and she’s standing next to me today. I have got two lovely kids who are also enjoying my journey over the last few years,” he shared, highlighting the importance of family support.

After handing Ashwin the coveted cap, Rahul Dravid expressed his admiration for the Tamil Nadu cricketer. Dravid emphasized that Ashwin’s journey began from the streets of Chennai and has been both long and eventful. He acknowledged the crucial role played by Ashwin’s family and congratulated them on this well-deserved milestone.

The ceremony was marked by applause from Ashwin’s teammates, who honored him with a guard of honor as he stepped onto the field, celebrating not just a cricketing achievement but a journey beyond the boundaries of the sport.

R. Ashwin's Funny Comment To Jonny Bairstow Carrying Pitch Invader Off The Ground During The 2nd Ashes Test

India spinner Ravichandran Ashwin came out with a funny comment after England wicketkeeper Jonny Bairstow carried a protester off the ground as climate activists briefly interrupted play on the first day of the second Ashes Test at Lord's on Wednesday.

Just before Stuart Broad bowled the second over, two protesters from Just Stop Oil, an environmental activist group that wants an end to new oil and gas exploration in the North Sea, ran out of the Grandstand and onto the outfield, sprinkling the group's trademark orange powder on the square but not on the pitch.

Watch the video here.

While uploading the video on Twitter, Ashwin wrote: "Good start to the second test. Bairstow has done some heavy lifting already." The Metropolitan Police later reported that they had arrested three people.

Trending News We wouldn’t be the same or lethal enough without the other: Ravichandran Ashwin on his partnership with Ravindra Jadeja

Not one, India had two players of the series. Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja. Between them, they shared 47 wickets in the four Tests as India wrapped up the series 2-1. And now between them, they share a total of 146 wickets against Australia in the last three Test series at home. After the fourth match ended in a draw in Ahmedabad on Monday, Ashwin reminisced on his partnership with…

Thoughts on Ishan :

(and ict in general)

1. When he opted out of India's test squad before our series with S. Africa....I knew... I KNEW it will be a long time before we'll get to see him playing for India again.

And then few weeks later Rahul Dravid said in a press conference... He can come back... Just play domestic.... My heart sank.

Here's the thing, I don't blame him at all for taking a break due to mental fatigue.

I fully support his decision as well. He prioritised himself and that's good.

But my dude... If I was your friend, if I was there with you... I wouldn't have let you go.

I would have grabbed his trousers and refused to let go. This is team India. You take one step back and 10 other people are standing right behind you ready to take your place.

Shubhman gill was hyped up so much... Remember his 126 in 63 balls against New Zealand?

But he faltered.

And Today he's in reserve.

Jaiswal is going to be our new opener in all 3 formats very soon. And there's nothing wrong with that. The guy earned it.

Ishan left the South Africa Series and a month later during the india Vs England test Series Jurel was picked and he did an excellent job.

Now imagine... Imagine if Ishan was there instead... If ishan had scored those 90 runs.....he would have made his place permanent.

I'll repeat myself.... I don't blame him for leaving... But he should have thought this through. Especially when a guy like Rahul Dravid is your coach.

(he's the same guy who gave declaration during a test match when Sachin Tendulkar was about to score a century. He's not as innocent as he looks.)

Another thing which really hurts me is how so many people complain about him being benched and then dropped but Yaar....there are tons of players who have gone through this.

Even Ashwin was benched. He said in an interview that when his team would win he wouldn't even feel like going in the ground to congratulate them coz of how hurt he felt.

It happens.

.

.

.

Anyways My overall opinion on this drama is :

1. I support him for leaving.

2. But I hate that he left.

3. A block of ice would be a better coach than Rahul Dravid.

Anyways... Jo hogaya so hogaya.

What I want now is for him to focus on his future.

And He can start by leaving Mumbai Indians.

MI was the team who would pick young players, groom and invest in them and make them capable enough for team India.

The MI we have seen this year is no longer that team. It doesn't matter how many reels their insta page puts out, the atmosphere of that team is tense, awkward and a hot mess.

If Mumbai really cared about a future captain as they claimed.... They should have made Ishan their new captain...like how csk and gt did with ruturaj and gill.

But oh well.

Right now... The best he can do is keep himself fit, play domestic and leave MI at THE EARLIEST.

That team, it's atmosphere, the mismanagement and inner conflicts (believe me, they exist) will not help him at all.

Imo, he doesn't need a team to grow. He has developed a good skill set. What he needs now is a stage.

A team like Kkr, RR or Gt will be great for that because these teams don't drop Their players after 1 or 2 matches... Have good coaches, stable environment and a good atmosphere overall.

Ishan is an excellent wicket keeper + batsman and the type of cricket he plays is best suited for t20 format (one day and test also but especially t20).

Whether we win or lose this t20 world cup... This one is the last one for our senior players.

After that, our youngsters will take charge (at least they should).

Yashasvi and Abhishek should be our openers.

Gill, rutu and Riyan would perfect be for middle order.

Ishan, with his explosive batting style, would be the perfect finisher.

Also... This dumb culture of batters not learning bowling (encouraged by this stupid impact rule) that has developed in the Indian team needs to STOP.

Look at Australia and New Zealand's t20 squad. Look at how many all rounders they have.

Look at ours. We won the 2007 cup because of all rounders as well.

Also... We cage our players. We hold them back. A player like Travis head is playing with such ferocity because his style and mindset is supported by his captain, his team and his media.

Meanwhile... If an Indian player attempts to do the same and doesn't make a big score in 2 -3 matches... He'll be benched instantly.

Another thing... If we look up the stats of our players in this year's t20 wc squad...

Except virat, Bumrah and maybe kuldeep ...everyone else is on ram bharose.

When players like n. reddy, ishan, rutu, gill, Riyan, natrajan... will be groomed and given enough opportunities....their aggressive style will be supported instead of criticized.... that's when we will win trophies.

What I disliked the most about this World Cup final was the crowd. There was no response, no cheers, no enthusiasm.

Team India lacked confidence yesterday right from the beginning, because they knew the pitch wasn't what they would've liked, but still they gave their best, and the least they deserved was and INDIAN crowd cheering for them.

I saw a video this morning of the crowd in Wankhede during the semi-final, poking fun at Surya when he was fielding at the boundary, asking him to bowl. It wasn't much, maybe even distracting him from his job for a moment but it made him smile. It made him realise people were confident enough in the team's abilities to joke during a tense moment in the game.

If you love cricket enough to go watch a match in a stadium, you'll know the confidence Bumrah gets when the crowd chants 'Boom Boom'. And that's what should have been done with each ball.

When you trust Siraj, Kuldeep and Shami's abilities enough, then cheer at each one of their balls. Even if they're lacking in confidence for a moment, let them know that the billion people who back them never doubted them.

The pitch wasn't the best for batting on, and yet Rohit, Virat and Rahul gave their best. It was slow, but they tried, and none of us watching the match could have done that. The crowd should have screamed even when they got a single or defended a tough ball, because they deserve to know how much we appreciate them for the joy they bring us.

Shubman, Shreyas and Jaddu weren't at their best with the bat, but they tried so hard with the fielding. Every time they dived for the ball, every time they stopped a single, they should have been cheered on.

Ishan, Shardul, Hardik, Prasidha and Ashwin didn't even play, but watching the crowd cheer on the team mates despite seeing the conditions would have made them happy, and their smiles would have made the eleven on the field believe in themselves more.

When Cummins had openly declared that he wanted to silence the crowd, then it was the responsibility of every single person in the crowd to fight his challenge. It was their job to stay until the last ball, to instill hope in our boys till the very end. Maybe it could have made our team more confident, and theirs a bit afraid. Maybe things would have been different right now.

The India vs. Australia 2nd Test match was part of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024 and took place at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi from February 17 to 21, 2024. Here’s a description of the match:

Match Overview:

India and Australia were competing in a four-match Test series. The second Test in Delhi was an important encounter, especially as India led the series 1-0 after winning the first Test. The match was expected to be crucial for both teams to either extend or level the series.

Day-by-Day Summary:

Day 1 (February 17): Australia won the toss and chose to bat first. The pitch was slow and offered spin, making batting difficult. Australia was restricted to a modest total due to India's tight bowling, with key Indian spinners like Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja making early breakthroughs. Australia finished the day at 156/7, with Usman Khawaja showing resilience at the crease.

Day 2 (February 18): Australia was dismissed early in the day for 186. India then took to bat, and despite a few early wickets falling, Shubman Gill and Cheteshwar Pujara played composed knocks, ensuring India got a good start. India reached 232/4 at stumps, gaining a crucial first-innings lead.

Day 3 (February 19): India continued to dominate with the bat. Virat Kohli played a crucial role, and Ajinkya Rahane provided stability. India posted a challenging total, eventually ending their first innings at 385, giving them a sizeable lead of around 200 runs. Australia’s bowlers struggled to make breakthroughs on the spin-friendly surface.

Day 4 (February 20): Australia started their second innings with a deficit and struggled against India's spinners. Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja continued to wreak havoc, taking key wickets. Australia was bowled out for 114, giving India a target of just 32 runs to win. The Indian bowlers' dominance in the second innings, especially in the spin department, was the standout feature of this Test.

Day 5 (February 21): India chased down the small target of 32 runs without losing any wickets, winning the match by 9 wickets. Shubman Gill and Rohit Sharma made the runs, sealing India’s victory in the second Test.

Key Performers:

Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja were the standout performers with the ball, taking multiple wickets across both innings and creating significant pressure on the Australian batsmen.

Virat Kohli and Shubman Gill were instrumental in India’s batting, with Kohli’s important contribution in the first innings and Gill’s stability in the second innings.

Result:

India won the second Test by 9 wickets, extending their lead in the series to 2-0. The victory was crucial in their quest to retain the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.

This win highlighted India's dominance on home soil, especially in spin-friendly conditions, and they were now in a strong position to win the series.

Can't help but feel bad for Jaddu. The pain in his statement is heartbreaking. Imagine seeing the legacy that you built brick by brick over 12 years crumble down right in front of you despite of your continuous attempts to salvage it. Him and Ashwin were our two main spinners who had such a chokehold on the pitches while delivering whenever the team needed them and now they're the seeing the result of their blood, sweat, and tears going down the drain. Makes me despise Rohit's statement of "12 saal me ek baar toh chalta hai" even more because it's not just another loss, our fortress has been breached and this was something that was everything to the people who built it, it was our pride and I agree that Rohit is a great captain who did well for India and should not be the only one to take the blame (don't even get me started on the coaching staff) but he shouldn't make statements like these as if this series loss isn't the biggest blow to the Indian Test legacy in a long time. Almost all the players messed up at some point and some questionable decisions were taken but let's just stop pretending that this loss is not a big deal because we're on the verge of being whitewashed at our own home for the first time in cricket history. Again such profound words from Jaddu - "sometimes what you fear yhe most, comes to you" - the fact that he feared a series loss at home the most tells you how important this was for him. And that he feared this because some underlying problems (batting collapses, top order failures, bad approaches, etc) that always were covered up by a single player standing up to perform were not addressed. Hopefully we'll salvage some of our legacy and win the last test but the damage has been done and only God knows what we'll do in Australia.

Kalki 2898 AD - Movie Review

India's highest budget movie till date, Kalki 2898 AD has released today. Nag Ashwin, who is just 2 films old (Evade Subramanyam & Mahanati), helming this magnum opus of science fiction interlinked with mythology, is itself a gutsy attempt. Roping in stalwarts like Amitabh and Kamal Haasan, while having "The Prabhas" and Deepika is taking it to next level. Did he live upto the expectations? Let's see.

Story :- It's 2898 AD, where there are only 3 worlds shown. Complex, Kashi and Shambala. Complex controls Kashi and all other worlds with it's dominance under the guidance of Yaskin (Kamal Haasan). They trace fertile women and use them for making Project K a success, which gives super power to Yaskin. Kashi is deprived of all resources and exploited by Complex. Shambala is a rebel group who want to bring down Complex at any cost. Sumathi (Deepika) is pregnant and crucial for Project K to become success, however she escapes from Complex to save her baby. Bhairava (Prabhas) a bounty hunter, who is desperate to shift to Complex from Kashi, wants to catch Sumathi and handover to complex. Ashwathama (Amitabh) is alive just to protect Sumathi's baby. Bhairava and Ashwathama face off each other in this process. Who wins over whom? Was Sumathi protected? Forms the rest of the story.

Performances :- Entire story revolves around Deepika. She was very good in the given scope and interval block stands out. Amitabh Bachchan has most creamy role, be it the elevations, action sequences or back story. He is outstanding in it. This could be termed as the best mass role for Amitabh in ages. Prabhas is the life of the film. What could be otherwise an serious emotional film with slow pace, was made lively with his comedy timing. His camaraderie with Bujji, one liners during action sequences, sequences with Bhramandam or other cameos, makes the movie enjoyable. His get up in the last scene bring goosebumps to fans. Kamal Haasan has limited scope and he excels in it. Despite having prosthetic and graphics, his intensity in acting arrests you. Bengali actor Saswata Chatterjee has a meatier role as commander of Complex and he was great. Shobhana, Pasupathy, Rajendra Prasad, Disha Patani, Anna Ben were fine in their roles. Lot of cameos are there throughout the movie, which surprise us occassionally.

Technicians :- Graphics of the movie is of the highest standard and on par with any Hollywood movie. The team should be applauded for the quality. Art work comes next in line for the accolades, setting up 3 worlds with contrasting premises. Action sequences were very well designed and executed, using the graphics to the maximum extent possible. Santosh Narayanan background score is excellent. Songs could have been better though. Nag Ashwin deserves a bow for the way he has conceived this story and executed it. Perfect blend of Indian mythology in a science fiction film is a very rare phenomenon, which he has aced. No one would believe that the director of Mahanati and Kalki are one and the same. Such is the contrast of these films genre are. He has a Rajamouli and a Bapu in him. Costumes & Make up have complimented the proceedings of the film.

Positives :-

Everything

Negatives :-

Lags in 1st half

Few songs

Summary :- Great story, terrific performances, top notch graphics make it must watch. It should be seen as a story based movie rather than a Prabhas movie, to enjoy it fully. Kudos to Nag Ashwin for pulling it off.

Rating :- 4.5/5 (Kalki is India's Avengers)

I fail to understand exclusion of Ashwin: Sachin Tendulkar | Cricket News

NEW DELHI: Despite the Australian line-up comprising five left-handers batters, premier off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin was not picked in the India XI for the World Test Championship final as coach Rahul Dravid defended the decision saying that overcast conditions forced the team to pick a fourth specialist seamer. Legendary Sachin Tendulkar however found Ashwin’s exclusion baffling, pointing out…
