R Ashwin: On December 18, R Ashwin announced his retirement from all formats of international cricket. He will no longer be seen playing for India. After the third match of Border Gavaskar Trophy, Ashwin took a big decision. Till now the veteran player had got a chance to play only 1 match in this series. The absence of Ashwin is going to be missed by the Indian Test team, because the veteran player had taken 537 wickets in 106 Test matches for India. However, after his retirement, the names of two players are coming forward as replacements.
The names of these 2 players came out
R Ashwin has done a great job in the spin bowling department for India. He is the second highest wicket taker for India in the Test format after Anil Kumble. In such a situation, Team India is going to feel his experience at every turn. But Ashwin can be replaced by Washington Sundar and Mumbai player Tanush Kotian in the Indian team. These players bowl like Ashwin and also bat brilliantly.
Talking about Sundar, he has made his debut for India in all three formats. He is also a part of the Border Gavaskar Trophy being played in Australia. Sundar also performed brilliantly in the Border Gavaskar Trophy played in Australia in the year 2020-21. On the other hand, Tanush Kotian is continuously performing well in domestic cricket. Recently, this player also showed his batting skills to the whole world, when he scored a century of 114 runs while batting at number 8 for Mumbai in the Irani Trophy.
This has been the career of both of them
In the 33 first-class matches played so far, Tanush has scored 1525 runs at an average of 41.21 and taken 101 wickets in his name. Whereas in List A cricket, this player has taken 20 wickets and 33 batsmen in 33 T-20 matches. Washington Sundar has taken 24 wickets in 7 test matches played for India and scored 387 runs at an average of 48.37. In 22 ODI matches, this player has taken 23 wickets and in 52 T-20 matches, Sundar has registered 47 wickets.
