"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.

156.7 Kmph Sensation Awaits India Debut, Bangladesh Start Life After Shakib

Pace sensation Mayank Yadav is expected to unleash his raw speed while the absence of India's T20 regulars will provide another opportunity to the fringe players in the three-match series against Bangladesh, beginning here Sunday. Having consistently generated speed in excess of 150kmph in his maiden IPL earlier this year, Mayank had drawn the attention of the cricketing world before a side strain ruled him out of the tournament. Usually, one has to prove fitness in domestic cricket to be considered for national selection but the 22-year-old has been fast-tracked into the side considering his special talent. The series against Bangladesh will be a test of his fitness and temperament. It is yet to be figured if he can display the same accuracy and control that he exhibited in the IPL. Besides Mayank, fellow Delhi pacer Harshit Rana and all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy could also make their India debut over the course of the series. Nitish was picked for the Zimbabwe tour post the T...

PCB Not Happy With Pak Star Over Social Media Post On Babar Snub: Report

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is not pleased that Fakhar Zaman questioned the selection panel's decision to sideline Babar Azam from the Test side. The panel dropped former captain Babar Azam when they announced the squad for the remaining two Tests against England in Multan and Rawalpindi. Zaman took to X to question the decision, inviting the ire of the PCB. "The top board officials are not pleased with the tweet sent out by Fakhar and relevant persons are having a word with him about it," a well-informed PCB source said. "It's concerning to hear suggestions about dropping Babar Azam. India didn't bench Virat Kohli during his rough stretch between 2020 and 2023, when he averaged 19.33, 28.21, and 26.50, respectively. "If we are considering sidelining our premier batsman, arguably the best Pakistan has ever produced, it could send a deeply negative message across the team. There is still time to avoid pressing the panic button; we should focus on sa...

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.
