R Ashwin’s match-winning knock of 42 on Day 4 of the second Test match against Bangladesh is being called one of the best knocks in test matches. Ravichandran Ashwin’s heroics against Bangladesh have prompted fans to call on team management to name him Test captain following his all-round performance.
With India struggling at 74 for 7, India was on a verge of their first test defeat against Bangladesh. But Shreyas Iyer and Ashwin have different plans in store at Sher-e-Bangla stadium in Dhaka. Both played spin magnificently. They counter-attacked their spinners and added 71 runs for the 8th wicket.
Many fans were disappointed as to why R Ashwin is not the captain of the Indian Cricket team. Some fans were even furious as to why he is not even vice-captain of the Indian team.
Here are some tweets by fans who want R Ashwin as captain of Indian Cricket team.
Fans wrote that R Ashwin gave the perfect Christmas gift to Indian Cricket fans with his all round ability
Fans were furious with KL Rahul as he has failed miserably with the bat and leadership. They want Ravichandran Ashwin to have a bigger role in leadership group.
“Great batting by @ashwinmushran @ShreyasIyer15… #chandrakantpandit should be the test coach and Shreyas and Ashwin should be captain and vice captain for tests,” tweeted comedian Suresh Menon.
