Ravichandran Ashwin he could have announced his retirement after the Gabba Test in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar rivalry, but the kind of familiar parts found in the Indian dressing room is almost second to none. This is evident through the video that BCCI shared with them X catch soon to reveal the real Ashwin behind the scenes.
The bowling skills of the supporters on display as Ravichandran Ashwin entertains them
The video shows the inner circle of the Indian cricket team and the support members who are with the team in Australia. In the video, the teammates can be seen trying their hands at bowling as Ashwin calls them to the net one by one. Young people Prasidh Krishna and Washington Sundar can also be seen in the video taking jibes at the bowling action of the support members. The poor adoption of spin and pace bowling can be seen by the staff as some deliveries miss from the pitch while others fail at the batsmen's end. Ashwin, Krishna and Sundar can be seen laughing and enjoying their time watching how the Indian support can handle the ball!
Here is the video:
The countless battles on the pitch are unforgettable ā¤ļø

Ashwin's break: Lack of enough?
While the laughs and cheers may be fun for Indian cricket fans, a more pressing question looms before the team management. With Ashwin bidding farewell to the game after the Gabba Test, the question arises as to who will replace the long-time legendary batsman for the remaining matches of the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Test series.
India may go for an extra pacer similar to the Brisbane Test, considering the seam movement they get at the MCG especially with the new ball. At the Sydney Test, the team can decide Washington Sundar as their main spinner. The game in Sydney is known to favor batsmen with spinners playing a vital role in the late game. Ravindra Jadeja he can provide extra support with bat and ball, like Ashwin.
