At the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai last week, Team India defeated Bangladesh by 280 runs, thanks in large part to the efforts of Jasprit Bumrah and Ravichandran Ashwin. While Ashwin’s all-around performance, which included a century in the first innings and another six wickets in the second, laid the groundwork for India’s decisive victory, Bumrah’s six wickets in the first innings helped Bangladesh be dismissed for 149.

A day after the victory, Ashwin established a new Hindi YouTube channel named “Ash ki baat,” matching Shane Warne’s record with his 37th five-wicket haul. The Rajasthan Royals all-rounder was asked about Bumrah’s remarks that he was the “fittest” cricket player in the Indian squad. He specifically likened the bowler to a “truck” or a “tipper lorry.”

Why do you feel the need to draw attention to it so much? Fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah bowls in this heat at 145 kmph. Like the Kohinoor diamond, he is the gem in the crown of Indian cricket. Permit him to say whatever he wishes. Simply embrace it, Ashwin said on his recently established YouTube channel, Ash Ki Baat.

“People will ask right away how Bumrah, who had an injury, could be the fittest cricket player. An enormous difference exists between a Mercedes Benz and a tipper truck. Because Mercedes-Benz components are quite expensive, it is important to handle the vehicle carefully. Long stretches without stops would require a tipper vehicle, he added.

“A quick bowler resembles a tipping truck.” It sometimes malfunctions. But despite all of the pressure, Bumrah returned and bowled at 145 kmph. Give him some credit, Ashwin continued.

“I’m anticipating Rohit Sharma’s birthday.”
During the Test match, the off-spinner from Tamil Nadu, who has 522 wickets in 101 Tests and is India’s second-highest wicket-taker, also had a humorous conversation with captain Rohit Sharma.

“The day before yesterday, we were watching some highlights. “These off-spinners, won’t they be abusing you in their minds while bowling?” my wife said to me. I questioned why, realizing that they must be wondering, “When will he leave so we can get a break?” I suddenly felt a bit strange. Yes, that period is where I am right now, I realized. We tended to ponder about our position on the side even when we were little. Everyone engages in it. Looking at that now pulls me back to earth. On his YouTube channel, Ashwin said, “It makes you realize you have played for a lot of years.”

“On the official broadcasting channel, I noticed a visual. The year-wise breakdown was entered, and it concluded with number 38. In the club, I’m alone myself. Abruptly, I saw Rohit walking by. “When is your birthday?” I inquired. He predicted its arrival. I’m holding off till his birthday. After that, we shall share the same age for a while, Ashwin said.
