IND vs AUS 4th Test: Sanjay Bangar Lauds Ravichandran Ashwin’s Exceptional Performance on Day 1 of Border-Gavaskar Trophy

Former Indian Batting Coach Praises Ashwin's Bowling and Mind Games, Believes His Efforts Will Pay Off in Coming Innings.

Sanjay Bangar, former Indian batting coach, was all praises for Ravichandran Ashwin’s outstanding performance on the first day of the final Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Despite registering figures of 1/57 in 25 overs, Bangar believes that Ashwin’s figures do not do justice to the way he bowled.

During a discussion on Star Sports, Bangar expressed his admiration for Ashwin’s bowling, stating that he used all the weapons in his arsenal, and looked the most threatening among the three Indian spinners.

Bangar also shed light on Ashwin’s exceptional ability to play with the batter’s mind. He described how Ravi Ashwin meticulously planned Travis Head’s dismissal by keeping his eyes on the batter’s feet until the last moment and adjusting his line accordingly.

Bangar went on to explain that Ashwin changed his line slightly, brought the short-leg fielder as an extra fielder on the off-side, and forced Head to find a new area to score his runs at a fast pace, resulting in his dismissal.

According to Bangar, all days in Test cricket are not the same, and one cannot expect to see three or four wickets in their kitty every day. However, he believes that Ashwin’s efforts will eventually pay off, and he might get the rewards in the coming innings.
