India off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin is technically sound, not just in his craft, but also in most other aspects associated with the game which is evident from the interesting viewpoints he generally puts forth in press conferences or interviews. So, it came as a surprise to learn that he failed to identify the correct cricketing pads during the India tour of Australia in 2020-21.
In Neeraj Pandey`s Bandon Mein Tha Dum, a web series on India`s historic 2-1 win over Australia Down Under, on Voot Select, Ashwin, who bats and bowls right-handed, reveals he was carrying a left-hander`s pads and didn`t even realise it.
