Ravichandran Ashwin who achieved the milestone of picking 400 wickets in test cricket in the third test against England, came up with a series of tweets explaining how ideas are being sold using “outbound marketing” like products. The cricketer said that the “choice of buying the ideas is ours” through his tweets and it is highly believed that what Ashwin said is a response to a tweet uploaded by former Indian all rounder Yuvraj singh. The cricketer said that Harbhajan and Kumble could have picked 1000, 800 wickets in the pitch team India bowled on Day 2.
Ashwin became the second fastest bowler to pick up 400 test wickets with having legendary Sri lankan spinner Muttaiah Muralitharan ahead of him. The Chennai based cricketer took 77 test matches to achieve the feat whereas the Tamil speaking Sri lankan cricketer picked up his 400th wicket in his 72nd match. Entire Internet, along with experts and celebrities from several other industries lauded the cricketer for this achievement after he made England’s Jofra Archer out.
After Kapil Dev, Anil Kumble and Harbhajan singh, Ravichandran Ashwin reached the milestone. Former Indian test captain Anil Kumble remains the highest wicket taker for team India as he finished his career by picking up 619 wickets. However, Ashwin holds the record for being the fastest to pick up 300 wickets in Test cricket. Ravi Ashwin picked three wickets in the first innings and four in the second to help team India to win the test match within two days.
Now, the cryptic tweet uploaded by the all rounder says “Products are sold using various marketing strategies and that’s an accepted practice! We now live in an era where ideas are also being sold to us and it’s a classic example of “outbound marketing”, however I would like to add that buying ideas being sold to us is like telling us “you can’t think on your own” and here we will teach you how to think and also help you think the way we want you to think. After having played the game at this level for a decade, I can safely say that “As long as we are going to buy it, they will shove it down our throat”.
In his third tweet, the cricketer said “Finally. We can always have and stand by our opinions even if it’s against the majority as long as we know that it is our own and not the one that’s been sold to us! “The choice is always ours”

Many fans got confused while trying to decode the tweet uploaded by the Chennai cricketer. However, majority of the concluded that the tweet is a response to Yuvraj singh who, in a way, demeaned the cricketer’s achievement through one of his tweets.
