Former Indian Cricketer all-rounder Sanjay Bangar greeted Ravichandran Ashwin for the way he scheduled the wicket of Australian wicketkeeper Alex Carey throughout day one of the primary Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Nagpur on Thursday.
Carey performed an wonderful cameo of 36, release an array of sweeps and reverse-sweeps. Although, the cameo could have been a really big knock had Ashwin not interfered and dismissed him at the appropriate moment.
Conversation to Star Sports, here’s what Bangar had to say regarding Ravichandran Ashwin:
“Alex Carey’s wicket showed what he was thought because Carey was able to sweep and reverse sweep Ashwin pretty well early in the game. Ashwin kept the field for him, a brief point, a deep point, a short fine leg. He invited Carey to do something different.”
Sensational delivery to get a good batter out! Probing lengths by Ashwin brings up 450 TEST WICKETS! 🐐👏🏻

Sanjay Bangar welcomed Ravichandran Ashwin on picking up 450 Test wickets
Bangar further discribe how Ashwin smartly bowled into the stumps and away from Carey’s rever-sweep arc so he had to extend for the ball. With this wicket, the veteran off-spinner became the 2nd-fastest overall and fastest Indian bowler to 450 Test wickets.
On this, Bangar specified:
“What Ashwin did good was that he modified the line, bowled away the line of his front foot and that’s how he managed to get his removal. Credit to him, he is the fastest Indian bowler to achieve 450 wickets.”
Ashwin was posted in at No.3 towards the conclusion of the day’s play and will be resolute to make a impressive contribution with the bat too.
