One Of The Sharpest Cricketing Brains, Says Ponting On Ashwin
ODI World Cup: Former Australia captain Ricky Ponting has lauded recently retired Ravichandran Ashwin's impact on the game, saying the veteran off-spinner always stood out for his remarkably sharp cricketing brain.
Ashwin, 38, announced his sudden retirement from international cricket with immediate effect after India's third Test against Australia, a game he was not selected for, ended in a draw at the Gabba, Brisbane.
Ashwin ended his 14-year international career with 537 wickets at average of 24 in 106 Tests and becoming India’s second leading wicket-taker after legendary leg-spinner Anil Kumble. He also picked an incredible 37 five-wicket hauls in Tests, the second-most in the history of the game, along with eight ten-wicket hauls.
