Ravichandran Ashwin is one of greats of the game: VVS Laxman

A few days back, former India cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar divided opinion when he claimed that, according to him, Ravichandran Ashwin was not an all-time great. India legend VVS Laxman, however, had a differing view and termed the off-spinner one of the greats of the sport.

He was quoted as telling India Today:

Laxman had also praised Ravindra Jadeja’s ability with both bat and ball, terming him as someone who can perform under pressure. He had said:

Both Ravichandran Ashwin and Jadeja have been picked in India’s playing XI for the WTC final, with Ishant Sharma getting the nod over Mohammed Siraj.
