Tamil nadu based Indian cricketer Ravichandran Ashwin picked five wickets in the two innings and did his part to help team India to clinch the victory. Ash maintained his grip over Australia’s former captain and top batsman Steve Smith. He dismissed him for the second time in this series and saved India from his destructive batting.

After winning the game, in a way of celebrating the victory, Ashwin came up with a tweet writing “When your backs are up against the wall, lean back and enjoy the support of the wall!! Well done to the entire team and what a win that was” with a picture of himself posing with Jadeja, Umesh Yadav, Chateshwar Pujara, Ajinkya Rahane, Ravichandran Ashwin and Jaspirit Bumrah.

Many fans speculated various reasons for the happiness of the cricketer. Few of them humorously said that Ashwin felt happy due to the absence of Kohli’s captaincy whereas others said that it is because he picked Smith’s wicket.

Why not. ? He has picked Smith and Labuschagne twice in four innings, already. The magnitude of his magic speaks there itself. He should lead the bowling attack like the way he did in this test. Coz apart from being a great match winner, he has a superb cricketing brain ❤️ #3-1
