4th Test: 'Ranchi Has Been A Reminder That You Can’t Keep Good Player Down', Says Hussain On Ashwin
Former England: Former England captain Nasser Hussain praised veteran India off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin’s 5-51 in the ongoing fourth Test at Ranchi, saying the sensational spell was a reminder that a good player can’t be put down for a long time.
Before day three’s play at the Ranchi Test, Ashwin took only 12 wickets in seven innings. But when it mattered the most, he turned the tables with his incredible 35th five-wicket haul in Tests, drawing level with legendary India leg-spinner Anil Kumble.
During his spell, Ashwin also surpassed Kumble to become India’s leading Test wicket-taker on home soil. “People have been saying Ashwin has had a quiet series, but this game has been a reminder that you don’t keep a great cricketer down. Root proved as much in England’s first innings, and Ashwin underlined the point in their second.”
