Now we know why Ashwin was dropped a lot under Shastri. Ashwin for all the omissions by captains and coaches has been one of the top 3 test match winners for India of all time and there is no one who's playing cricket for India who will enter that space. He is the primary reason why India has been supreme at home
Ashwin and Jadeja have been the biggest match winners for India, but they don’t have same popularity among general public like Rohit and Kohli even though they are more consistent.
Have you seen the bowlers he mentioned? In this modern area of batsman not being able to play spin bowling and India producing spin friendly tracks, Kumble, Prasanna and Bedi would have double the wickets of Ashwin
@@saikat93ify What analysis is this? The analysis that shows Ashwin averages 42+ in Australia and 50 in South Africa with the ball? Lockdown kids with no awareness that cricket existed prior to 2012
For Ashwin - There are always naysayers.. If you flash his stats which is better than everyone except Murali - They will point out his away stats. But Warne who had a very ordinary record in India ( spinning conditions) is not a problem. Ashwin outbowled Lyon in the last two series in Australia. It is a joke that Lyon is even considered as equal to Ashwin. Ashwin is the greatest match winner for India and probably the best spinner of all time after the great Murali.
I liked the mention of Subhas Gupte. My late father, a club level cricketer in Kolkata and team mate of Gupte Sir (and also Mrs. V. Manjrekar and M.K Mantri) in the 40's, always maintained that he was the best spinner ever. From the limited B/W films of his bowling seen, I was always amazed AT how a silk-smooth bowling action could produce such vicious wicket taking deliveries. Also, Harbhajan also should have deserved a mention.
To all the people in vomment section saying Bad about Ravi not selecting Ashwin. I think they already decided not to repeat the players so that we can hear about the top spinners of India which many won't know. So grow up.
Have you seen the bowlers he mentioned? In this modern area of batsman not being able to play spin bowling and India producing spin friendly tracks, Kumble, Prasanna and Bedi would have double the wickets of Ashwin
And yet Bedi, Prasanna averaged in high 20's and not early 20's! They were very good spinners no doubt but greatest of all time? I doubt. Kumble, Ashwin and Jadeja are better than them and picked far more wickets!!
One cannot expect Ravi Shastri, a Bombayite, to choose Ashwin. To place Jadeja above Ashwin is normal for western Indian cricketers who are always against players from Tamil Nadu. To win 11 'man of series' awards, take 5 wickets in an in innings 37 times is no mean achievement. While cricketers abroad acknowledge these feats our Bombay cricketers will not.
Those who are surprised not seeing Ashwin in Ravi's list may not know who Bishan Singh Bedi and Prasanna were!! Ian Chappell rated Prasanna the best off spinner he has ever seen (even with Murali around) and Bishan Singh Bedi was an absolute legend. No controversial chucking like Murali or Harbhajan, just purest form of spin bowling by these legends!!
Ravi really impressed me with his picks for the top 3 Indian spinners of all time. Growing up, my dad always raved about how amazing Prasanna and Bedi were.
1)Kumble 2) Chandrasekhar 3) prasanna. Havenot seen gupte bowl so kept him out. Chandra was more difficult to play but kumble had better control and more match winning figures. Thats my top 3
@@KaranKaran-uu9jh check kohli odi record in those times. This list i have made by considering all the factors and by the way dont forget there was 2 years of corona also. And what kohli did in CWC 2023, is a testimony that he is still one of the greats of the game. Let me give u an eg of Dravid only. Between 2007-2011 & 2012, Dravid did not score centuries and runs in foreign soil but still at that time he regarded one of the greats before scoring back to back 4 centuries in England tour. Hope u get what I am saying and by the way Kohli ne toh against Pak in 2022, WT20 2024 Finals and CWC 2023 mein kya thoka is everyone aware of. It is just that Kohli ka standard is so high that we just expect him to go very big.
@@cd11645 bro i know kohli is GOAT there is no 2nd thoughts about it i mean in tests only kohli not that great but across formats he's legend i thought u made legends list in tests only sry form mistake 🥲
Ashwins wickets came in an era where most players not great spin players...thats not his fault but still count against him when we choose greatest spinners ! Same goes against Kohli as he never had to face Murali or in turning Colombo or Gale pitches or Warne in a turning Indian pitch !
Shastri sir, please ananlyse number of matches played, number of wickets taken, bowling averages, 5 wickets haul in an innings, 10 wicket haul in a match. Also see them as players and not from where they come from.
Was waiting to see if Bishan's name came up...would have been a travesty if he wasn't mentioned. Charmed the ball like a cobra on two tours of Australia taking over 50 wickets at around 22. Wizard.
i've said it before..Ashwin is the most unluckiest player in indian cricket..If he was an aussie he would be respected all over Australia and be picked everytime they play unlike India
Everyone's choice is different just skill wise ash is among few deadly off Spinners... But it's about individual who could admire anyone,, like stats wise Tendulkar is beast but i admire kohli bcs of his game presence and his ability to maintain stable run rate(ODI)... Few would choose pujara over 🧱 even though their approach is roughly the same.

Those who think ravi shastri didn't pick Ashwin because of jealousy or something else just go and check when the bowlers mentioned by Ravi shastri had bowled. In past spinning tracks was not in common making and bowlers mentioned by ravi shastri did much better than any modern bowler on pace friendly pitches .

Whether ones bowling is deceptive or beautiful or class doesn't matter Does it gives you matching winning wickets In that regard u can easily see the level of contribution of the player in match/ series by the number of player of the match/ player of the series records If u take that... easily Ashwin is far greater than even almost all of the batters too let alone bowlers/ spin bowlers As simple as that
Bro chill...everyone has their own choice. These are Ravi's personal choices. When you are asked by someone then you name Ashwin. Simple. It doesn't always mean your/mine choices would have to align with someone else's choice.
Great fan of Ashwin but can't ignore the fact that Ash has played atleast 50 to 60% of his matches on rank turners. This luxury wasn't available to his predecessors Anil and Harbhajan

Ashwin doesn't need to be in Shastri’s top 3; his stats are already in cricket’s Hall of Fame
But you have to remember Parsanna and Bedi were the pioneers of spin bowling specially in subcontinent. And Kumble's record speak for itself.

All kids...plz go for play. Ravi mentioned correct players even though Aswin is good.

Tough one to pick .
India has produced many talented and crafty spinners.
