Ravichandran Ashwin, one of the finest players of his age, has achieved incredible feats in Test cricket by using his outstanding wicket-taking skills to ascend the ladder of success. However, others believe Ashwin isn’t the kind of player who should be heavily relied upon in white-ball cricket. Ashwin has participated in many World Cups (in both formats) despite having a rather erratic career in both ODIs and T20Is. When questioned about Ashwin’s white-ball career, former all-rounder Yuvraj Singh didn’t waste any time in declaring that the seasoned spinner “doesn’t deserve” a spot in India’s T20I and ODI teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a discussion with the Times of India, Yuvraj was eager to stress out how outstanding Ashwin is as a red-ball cricketer, but the same can’t be stated because of what the limited-overs formats need from a player. Ashwin is a fantastic bowler, but in white-ball forms, he doesn’t offer much in the field or with the bat, according to Yuvi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

“Ashwin is a great bowler but I don’t think he deserves a place in ODIs and T20s. He is very good with the ball, but what does he bring with the bat? Or as a fielder? In the Test team, yes, he should be there. But in white-ball cricket, I don’t think he deserves a place,” Yuvraj said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n

The Indian side that won the 2011 ODI World Cup included Ashwin and Yuvraj. Ashwin has frequently praised Yuvraj for his services to Indian cricket, particularly in light of his health issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ashwin had expressed in a video on his YouTube channel how surprised he was to learn he had cancer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

“Yuvi used to cough, and he used to cough vehemently. I used to think that it is the pressure of the game and he is coughing it off and he used to cough in the middle. Literally, nobody had any idea, at least from the junior segment of the team that he was suffering from a serious illness,” Ashwin had said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“When it broke out (the news of Yuvraj having cancer), I was shocked because I did not expect somebody who had just become Player of the series, in fact like I would say, ‘Bharat ka Icon’. That literally was it. I think Sachin Tendulkar<\/a> played an unbelievably big role in that Yuvraj Singh’s World Cup. I call it the Yuvraj Singh’s World Cup because you name it, he was there in that situation in the centre,” Ashwin added.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
