'Scientist Of Spin Bowling': Monty Panesar Hails R Ashwin
Indian Premier League: Former England spinner Monty Panesar has described Ravichandran Ashwin’s retirement from the Indian Premier League (IPL) as a “huge surprise”, calling the Indian off-spinner a “scientist of spin bowling” who redefined the art of variations in T20 cricket.
Ashwin, one of India’s most successful modern-day cricketers, announced his decision to step away from the IPL, ending a storied journey that began with Chennai Super Kings in 2009. Known for his guile, cricketing intelligence, and ability to adapt across formats, the 38-year-old leaves behind a legacy that extends far beyond numbers.
Panesar, who himself was a prominent spinner for England during the 2000s, praised Ashwin’s evolution through the league. “He first made his mark in the IPL as a T20 bowler, excelling especially in the powerplay, and gradually developed into a fantastic all-round cricketer and bowler across all formats,” Panesar told IANS on Wednesday.
