However, Gautam Gambhir has criticized R Ashwin for not bowling off-spin and instep turning to his varieties amid yesterday’s IPL 2021. That is the experience between the Delhi Capitals and Sunrisers Hyderabad.
Ashwin was introduced into the assault on the moment conveyance of the ninth over. When Marcus Stoinis had to take off the field due to an injury. The thin off-spinner fizzled to make an impression and went wicketless. Within the 2.5 overs, he bowled, although Rishabh Pant did put down Kane Williamson off his bowling.
“He is currently the best off-spinner in the world but he didn’t bowl off-spin at all. It is necessary for him to first understand that he is an off-spinner. It was an ideal situation for him where the opposition was three or four down.” he said
“There is no doubt that you have not played cricket for a long time. You didn’t play the four Tests and the match pressure is completely different. Whichever format it might be, you should have bowled your traditional off-spin until you were hit for a six,” he added
R Ashwin
R Ashwin has played fair a handful of competitive recreations since the primary half of IPL 2021. He was part of the Indian group for the WTC last and played a province match for Surrey but was not chosen for any of the four Tests against England.
“You should have bowled the Test match-type bowling and got back your rhythm and feel. Whether it is batting or bowling, everything is about the feel. We saw the knuckle ball at the start itself. The entire world knows that you have a variation of all types, you can bowl the googly, leg-spin, knuckleball but you are still an off-spinner.” he said
“You can get wickets with off-spin also. It is not necessary that it is T20 cricket or white ball, so you have to show your variations. He disappointed me a little from that point of view but I am sure that going forward he will bowl more off-spin because he is a world-class bowler.” Gambhir observed
