Ravichandran Ashwin's All-Round Brilliance Deserves More Recognition

Ravichandran Ashwin's stellar performance in the recently concluded India-Bangladesh Test series has sparked a debate about his status as an all-rounder. Former Pakistan cricketer Ramiz Raja believes that the 38-year-old Indian spinner deserves more recognition for his all-round abilities.

In the two-match series, Ashwin emerged as the highest wicket-taker alongside Jasprit Bumrah, claiming 11 wickets. With the bat, he scored 114 runs at an impressive strike rate of 83.21. His contributions earned him the 'Player of the Series' award.

Raja praised Ashwin's performance, particularly his century in the first innings of the Chennai Test. He also highlighted Ashwin's ability to perform consistently without making a fuss.

"Ashwin is no less than anyone else," Raja said. "He scores centuries and takes wickets at every opportunity, but he doesn't show too much pride or make any drama."

Raja believes that India is the strongest team to beat on their home soil. He noted that Bangladesh lacked the capacity to challenge the Indian team, which won the series comfortably.
