Ravichandran Ashwin is one of the wittiest cricketers on Twitter from Team India. Ashwin hits hard with his sarcasm whenever needed and also has a say on political matters via his Twitter account. But, this time Ashwin surprised everyone with his quick response as he answered a cricket quiz within just 2 minutes. A Twitter account named Srinimama, a parody account after Indian Premier League (2017) franchise Chennai Super Kings’ owner N Srinivasan. A cricket quiz question was asked through the Twitter account which involved Ashwin. Little did the account user know that Ashwin will be quick to respond to the answer before everyone else.
Here’s the question asked –
On this day in 2011, @ashwinravi99 became only the third Indian cricketer to win MOM on Test debut. As of today, 5 Indians have won MOM on debut. Who are the other four, Ash apart? #MamaAsks

#KnowledgeableChennaiBoy gets it spot on. As a cricketer, you are not supposed to remember all these!

Ashwin has been selected in India’s Test squad for three-Test series against Sri Lanka home starting November 16 at Eden Gardens, Kolkata. The all-rounder has been out of India’s limited overs side for a while now as the selectors have looked to groom Yuzvendra Chahal, Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav for the upcoming ICC World Cup 2019.
Though Ashwin made the most of the free time in hand. His County stint with Worcestershire turned out to be fruitful. He bamboozled English cricketers on their own pitches proving his efficiency on overseas pitches. He did well with the bat too scoring an half century. The all-rounder was a regular in lower middle order of Worcestershire.
