Australian legend Shane Warne praises India’s Ravichandran Ashwin Vaughan says if he takes a thousand wickets in Test cricket, it will be for Ashwin. Vaughan says Australia’s Nathan Lyon is also likely to take a thousand wickets.
‘Two players are expected to break my and Muraleedharan’s Test wicket records. The two are R Ashwin and Nathan Lyon. This is because of the high quality spin bowling that can be seen in both. Cricket becomes more exciting when they are there. You can see great excitement whenever the batsmen and spinners come face to face. I believe Ashwin and Lyon are capable of taking 1000 wickets in Tests, ”said Shane Warne.
Sri Lanka’s spin legend Muttiah Muralitharan is the number one spinner in Test cricket history with 800 wickets. Shane Warne is second with 708 wickets. Describing himself as a big fan of Ashwin, Vaughan added that he has improved his performance in venues outside India. However, Ashwin did not fare well on the recently concluded tour of South Africa.
Meanwhile, the squad for the ODI T20 series against the West Indies is sure to be a big one. India is preparing to reshape the middle order and the tail end. Bhuvneshwar Kumar, who has been in poor form for some time, is almost certain to miss out on a place in the team. Jaspreet Buram may be rested. Youngster Venkatesh Iyer is also unlikely to be considered. Ashwin may not get a place either. It is reported that Ashwin has asked for rest.
