Journalist Mocked Ashwin For Becoming Player Of The Match And The Cricketer Gave A Cracking Reply

Recently, in the 2nd Test match against Bangladesh in Dhaka, the Indian team registered a win chasing a target of 145 runs. The Indian team was about to lose after India’s batting line-up was disrupted by Mehidy Hasan Miraz’s five-wicket haul. However, things got exciting and took an unexpected yet favorable turn for the team when Indian spinner Ravichandran Ashwin and middle-order batter Shreyas Iyer teamed up to make India win the match.

Their partnership was an unbeaten 71-run partnership which led to India’s win by 3 wickets. The Indian team scored 2-0 in the series against Bangladesh.

Ravi who is most commonly known for his astonishing bowling performance walked in and saved the team from a major embarrassment. In almost 30 minutes, Ashwin’s batting gave the situation a 360-degree turn. Ash scored 42 off 62 with Shreyas Iyer scored 29 off 46 and helped India come out of the crisis. For his astonishing performance, Ravichandran A. has been declared the Player of the Match.

A Sri Lankan journalist commented on Ashwin picture and mocked him

The SL journalist wrote,

“You should have handed this to Mominul Haque, Who dropped that dolly.. had he bagged it, India all out for 89 for sure.. @ashwinravi99″”

In case you don’t know, Mominul Haque who was fielding at the short leg dropped Anna’s catch on 1 when India needed 65 more runs to win. This was a huge turning point in the match.

Ravichandran didn’t sit back and trolled the Sri Lankan journalist back

Ashwin was quick to come up with an epic reply. In his reply, he wrote,

“Oh no! I thought I blocked you, oh sorry that’s the other guy. what’s his name?? Yes Daniel Alexander that’s the name !!
Imagine what you both would do if India dint play cricket”
