"Kabhi Hua Hi Nahi...": R Ashwin Reveals One Record He Would Like To Have

Ravichandran Ashwin is one of the best spinners that India has ever produced and his statistics leave no doubt about the impact that he had on the modern game. Ashwin is the second-highest wicket-taker for India in international cricket and is currently the top ranked Test bowler in the world. However, the one record that Ashwin wants to achieve actually has nothing to do with bowling. Ahead of the first Test match between India and Bangladesh in Chennai starting Thursday, Ashwin revealed that he wishes to hit six sixes in an over but jokingly added that he never quite managed to do it.

“Ek over mein 6 chakke maarna chahta hoon (I want to hit six sixes in an over), par kabhi hua he nahi kabhi (but that never happened)," Ashwin said on Vimal Kumar's YouTube channel.

Meanwhile, Ashwin opened up on his retirement plans and said that the day he feels he can't improve any further, he will bid adieu to the sport.

Ashwin made his Test debut in 2011 against the West Indies. Following that, he has 100 long-format matches and 189 innings, in which he has scalped 516 wickets at an economy rate of 2.81.

The star India spinner has been named in India's Test squad against Bangladesh. The two-match Test series between India and Bangladesh will kick off on September 19 at Chennai's MA Chidambaram Stadium.

Speaking on Vimal Kumar's official YouTube channel, Ashwin said that there's nothing on his mind regarding retirement. The 37-year-old added that he is only taking one day at a time.

"There is nothing like that in my mind. I am only thinking about one day at a time because when you get older, you have to put in extra effort every single day. It's not the same. I have put in a lot of effort in the last 3-4 years," Ashwin said.

"I haven't decided (retirement), but the day I feel that today I don't want to improve, I will leave. That's all," he added.

The second Test between India and Bangladesh will be held in Kanpur, which will be played from September 27.

T20 WC Live: Netherlands Face Sri Lanka In A Must-Win Game For Dutch

Sri Lanka vs Netherlands LIVE Updates, T20 World Cup 2024: Netherlands may be out of the 2024 T20 World Cup even before their match against Sri Lanka ends, if Bangladesh beat Nepal. However, the Dutch need to beat Sri Lanka by a healthy scoreline to keep any hopes of qualifying to the Super 8 stage alive. The game also offers Sri Lanka a chance to get their first win, in what has been a hugely disappointing tournament for the 2014 champions. They would likely finish bottom of their group if they fail to win.

"Because Of Harsh Steps Taken...": Jay Shah's Blunt Take On Iyer, Kishan

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has made it mandatory for all the centrally contracted players, who are fit and off national duty, to participate in domestic cricket. Ishan Kishan and Shreyas Iyer are the ones who have already been at the receiving end of the Board's fury for not playing domesic cricket when possible. The two players were excluded from the list of central contracts that was announced by BCCI earlier this year as they missed out on domestic games despite being fit and also away from international circuit. Both Iyer and Kishan are part of the upcoming Duleep Trophy that is set to start on September 5. BCCI secretary Jay Shah has said that the two players have taken the decision as a result of BCCI's harsh action. "If you look Duleep Trophy squad, apart from Rohit and Virat rest are going to play. It's because of the harsh steps I have taken, Shreyas Iyer and Ishan Kishan are playing Duleep Trophy," Jay Shah told Times of India .
