Ravichandran Ashwin is always an attacking option in the middle overs of a T20I match when a team needs wickets, India captain Rohit Sharma said of the seasoned off-spinner. Rohit, the newly-appointed T20 skipper, picked his team’s bowling as the biggest positive in the 3-0 sweep of New Zealand.
Splendid comeback
Having made a splendid white-ball comeback after four years in the T20 World Cup earlier this month, Ashwin, 35, made an impact in the three-match series against the Kiwis, giving crucial breakthroughs while restricting the runs in the middle overs. “He’s always an attacking option for a captain. When you have someone like him in your squad, it always gives you the opportunity to take wickets in the middle and we understand how important that phase is,” Rohit said.
