Ravi Ashwin’s limited-overs career has taken a dramatic turn-around in the last 18 months. The way the wrist-spinning duo of Yuzvendra Chahal and Kuldeep Yadav has performed, the selectors have no option but to retain them for every series which India plays. Even for the upcoming ODIs against Windies, Ashwin has been overlooked who has expressed his disappointment now. However, he has taken the axing positively and is looking forward to making a comeback.

 

He last played for India in the coloured clothing in July last year and has been sidelined ever since then. The same thing happened to Ravindra Jadeja who made a stellar comeback in the Asia Cup thanks to a plethora of injuries. He grabbed the opportunity with both the hands and played a crucial knock in the final to win India the tournament.

 

It is always disappointing

Meanwhile, Ravi Ashwin, while speaking to The Week, expressed his disappointment for not being picked in the squad time and again. But rather than blaming anyone, he has credited Kuldeep and Chahal for the way they’ve performed after getting the chance.

“It is always disappointing for anyone to be left out, but for me, the moment I got into the Indian team it was about excelling. How many teams have the luxury of not having their first spinner in the team? To give due credit, when Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal came, they did extremely well,” he said.

 

The 32-year-old also took the competition for the places positively and was hopeful of the opportunity knocking his door sooner rather than later. “You have to give them credit. They have done some great stuff. I think competition is excellent. It is all about telling me and (Ravindra) Jadeja—boss, can you up your game? I look at it positively. I am sure one day the opportunity will come and when it does, I should be prepared,” Ashwin added.

To me, ashwin is done in odis. No firepower in batting, weak bowling. Chahal and Kuldeep have won us some series overseas. Enough said!

[Rightarmfast]

He needs to work on his bowling. Complaining wont help. He is not getting any younger and he still hasnt figured out how to take wickets abroad. He is a smart cricketer, but a mediocre player when playing outside of subcontinent.

Offies are just not effective in LOIs any more. With two new balls they never come into play on the batting paradises laid out these days.

Mr. Ashwin kindly look at the mirror.

[Franco Vazquez]

He can be effective in ODIs as he is economical so I will pick him over Jadeja

[The Dark Horse]

Boss, work on your test game...LOIs are not for you, at least internationals..

[Clarke]

His overseas test spot is in danger with Sir J perpforming in the last test in Eng and his poor showing in the 4th test.

In England, we shouldn't even need second spinner. I feel Chahal shouldn't play starting XI. Play 3 proper fast bowlers, 1 spinner and one all-rounder.

offies are needed if the other team has left handers

So if a reporter asks how do you feel for not making into odi squad. Should he say, "I am over the moon".

His batting in the Asia Cup final won us the game against your Bangladesh. So I understand your frustration.......

Lol it was Bhuvi who was hitting boundaries while your beloved Jadeja choked not only against BD but Afghanistan too.He got out when we needed around 15-20 runs no need to play a selfish player in the team a complete liability overseas.

Kuldeep is still a better option as he is wrist spinner taking ball away from left handers. It is widely agreed that wrist spinners can extract more from a flat deck than finger spinners.

Another stereotypical threadbare deluded bloke have already cost us ct, hope he never ever plays for India in Odis again.

If you saw his bowling before that during home series against England talking about 50 overs format he was getting smashed by England he was bowling negative line and lengths most of the times from round the wicket never looked like taking a wicket.

Ashwin should focus on tests as if he does not perform in it, he could lose his place in tests too .... as they say “a bird in hand is better than two in the bush”

He means Chahar, a CSK player 

 

He tries to fit in as many CSK and TN players as possible in the squad
