The Indian cricket team has played the World Test Championship final twice. On both the occasions he had to face huge defeat. Ravichandran Ashwin also played one of those finals. Ashwin has revealed the biggest reason why Team India could not become champion even after reaching the finals twice. He has blamed this on IPL. In the 2021 final, New Zealand took 8 wickets and two years later, the Indian team suffered a huge defeat of 209 runs at the hands of Australia.

Blame on IPL

While discussing on his YouTube channel, Ravichandran Ashwin says that right after IPL, the Indian team has played the World Test Championship final twice. He said that it is not easy to play the finals right after the IPL and that is why the Indian team could not become champion. The former Indian off-spin bowler said that Test cricket should be given enough respect and it is also necessary to practice a lot for it.

Reason for bad condition of West Indies team

India vs West Indies first test ended on the third day itself. In that match, Team India won by an innings and 140 runs. The condition of the Caribbean team is not good in the second test also. Ravichandran Ashwin has also attributed the bad condition of the West Indies team to franchise T20 cricket.

Ashwin said, “The biggest problem is the way the West Indies are looking at Test cricket. Before the Test series against India, the West Indies players were busy in the CPL till September 22. They came here just a few days after the CPL ended. How many days would they have got for preparation. The team did not make any new preparations.”

Ravichandran ashwin big statement on ind vs pak: Former Indian cricket team player Ravichandran Ashwin often keeps his point on every aspect with impunity. Ashwin has laughed the Pakistani team a lot about the first match played between India and Pakistan. Ashwin believes that Pakistan dragged the match referee Andy Picroft in the case without any reason and asked him to apologize. Ashwin said in Ash’s talk on his YouTube channel that ‘If I had been in place of Andy Picroft, he would have apologized to me. What would I apologize to for?

Ashwin lashed Pakistan a lot

India did not join hands with Pakistani players after defeating Pakistan in the Asia Cup league stage match. The Pakistan Cricket Board had complained about this to the Asian Cricket Council and told its responsible match to the referee Andy Picroft. On this, Ashwin said that ‘he is not many school teachers nor is there any principal. He cannot say to Surya that come and join hands, this is not their job. What is the mistake of Picroft in this’.

Ashwin further said that in the true sense, Picroft saved people from watching poor spectacles. India had already said before the match referee that this is our decision and we will follow this. Even after doing so much spectacle, those people lose the match, so what are you complaining about.

India vs Pakistan

India and Pakistan are going to compete once again on September 21 in Super-4. This match will be played at Dubai International Cricket Stadium. Like the first match in this match too, Team India can keep distance from Pakistani players.

Gautam gambhir injustice with Indian player: The Indian team’s journey of Asia Cup 2025 has started. Team India won the first win in the Asia Cup by defeating the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in the match played on Wednesday, September 10. But after this victory, while reviewing Team India, former cricketer Ravichandran Ashwin has raised questions about the coaching of Gautam Gambhir on his YouTube channel. Ashwin said about Gambhir that ever since he became the head coach, Arshdeep Singh is not being given a chance to play for the team.

Ravichandran Ashwin laundered Gautam Gambhir

Former Indian cricketer Ravichandran Ashwin said on his YouTube channel that ‘it is quite surprising that Arshdeep Singh was dropped, but this is not new. This has been going on since Gautam Gambhir started coaching. Arshdeep Singh did not play a single match in the entire Champions Trophy. In now time, it has become a theme. It may also be that they are giving more ahiam to the spinners, given the circumstances of Dubai. Even when Gambhir won the title for KKR (Kolkata Knight Riders), he was completely with spinners’.

Arshdeep Singh in place of Shivam Dubey

Ravichandran Ashwin further said that it has become a theme that we had also seen during the T20 World Cup 2024. But I suspect that this combination will work against a better team. It can also be a risk -taking person. Arshadeep is a good player, he also performed better against South Africa in the World Cup. It can be very difficult to keep such a player out of the team for a longer time. Ashwin further said that I know that Shivam Dubey took some wickets, but it is not a bowling combination, so that I am satisfied.

Ravichandran ashwin on rishabh pant: In the last league match of IPL 2025, Royal Challengers Bangalore defeated Lucknow Super Giants. But the controversy has started with regard to what happened in the 17th over of this match. Digvesh Rathi, who came to put the 17th over for Lucknow, stumped the RCB captain before throwing the ball. But Lucknow captain Rishabh Pant withdrew the appeal of Digvesh Rathi.

Ashwin gets angry at Rishabh Pant

Ashwin said that maybe ‘This is Digvesh Rathi’s last match, because when you scare a bowler so much in doing this, how will he play. But I do not think that anyone is worried about the bowler ‘. Ashwin questioned Pant’s decision with this statement.

While sharing his anecdote, Ashwin also said that when this happened between me and Joss Butler. The following year I reached the Delhi team. There Ricky Ponting told me that we will not run-out at non-strayer end to any player and everyone will follow this. I said yes, okay, it was correct if he had already spoken.

What is the whole matter?

Digvesh Rathi put the 17th over for Lucknow, when Mayank Agarwal was on strike, while Jitesh Sharma was at non-strayer and. Digvesh Rathi, before throwing the ball, was run out as soon as he got out of the crease, standing at non-strayer end. Digvesh Rathi appealed, but Rishabh Pant withdrew his bowler’s appeal, after which Jitesh Sharma embraced Pant. At the same time, Ashwin says that instead of supporting Digvesh Rathi, Pant wrongly justified the decision of his own bowler in front of crores of people. Ashwin believes that the captain should support his bowler.
