I Used To Replicate Harbhajan Singh’s Action In Junior Days: Ashwin
Green Park Stadium: Veteran spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has described how he was inspired by former off-spiner Harbhajan Singh and replicated his bowling actions during his junior days. He admitted that when he came into Indian Test side as Harbhajan's replacement, people doubted whether he could carry such a heavy weight and fill in the big shoes.
The 38-year-old Ashwin starred with his all-round performance to help India take a 1-0 lead against Bangladesh on Sunday at Chepauk. Following his impressive hundred on the first day of the Test that rescued India from a dire 144/6 in the first innings, the off-spinner picked up a six-wicket haul on the fourth day to spin his side a mammoth 280-run win against the visitors.
"It was huge shoes to fill for me. I used to replicate his action and bowl in junior age categories, so he was a huge inspiration. When I came into the team replacing him, I never thought we’d both coincide at the same time, but it so happened. There were constant doubts about whether I could deliver in red-ball cricket because I came through the IPL, which shaped people's perceptions," Ashwin said on JioCinema.
