Though experienced off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has played just a solitary game against Australia in this World Cup, he is playing a supporting role quite well. And it was evident during the second drinks break when India’s Virat Kohli and Shreyas Iyer were batting on 70 and 21 respectively against New Zealand at the Wankhede Stadium on Wednesday.
Immediately after the completion of Kiwi pacer Trent Boult’s sixth and the innings’ 31st over, Ashwin along with 12th man Ishan Kishan and a couple of support staff members rushed in the middle with drinks and two chairs. Kohli made full use of the chair while having his drinks and some breathing time to overcome hot and humid conditions. However, Iyer preferred to rest and had his water while standing only.
