The Indian cricket team is playing their fourth ODI of the ongoing ICC ODI World Cup 2023 today against Bangladesh and many former Indian cricketers were trying to find the answer to the question whether senior spinner Ravichandran Ashwin would get a chance to play in this match.
R Ashwin made his entry in the team at the last minute after Axar Patel got injured and till now he has played only one match, the first match which was against Australia.
The former Indian cricketer Sunil Gavaskar also talked about the chances of R Ashwin playing in this match and he said, “There could be a possibility of that happening (Ashwin playing against Bangladesh). If Shardul Thakur gets a breather, Ashwin could come in, keeping in mind the left-handers in the Bangladesh team.”
He further said this to a portal, “With Ashwin, it’s not just that he bowls only to left-handers, he is a top bowler, he bowls well to right-handers as well. He is a great bowler. He can operate on pitches that don’t generally assist the spinners. I think he is raring to be given an opportunity.”
The Indian team is going great with 3 wins in 3 matches and it will certainly like to continue with its winning streak.
