I Am Sure Ashwin Is Going To Get Me Out: England Batter's Shock Admission Before India Series

i am sure ashwin is going to get me out: england batter’s ben duckettt shock admission before india series

The Indian cricket team’s big assignment is just 10 days away as the Rohit Sharma-led team prepares to face England in a bumper five-match Test series in what is the team’s first home series of the ongoing 2023–25 World Test Championship (WTC) cycle as the hosts aim to reach a third consecutive final.

The series is being widely anticipated in the cricket fraternity as India’s invincible record at home will be put to the test as they face their tryst with ‘Bazball,’ as the Ben Stokes-led outfit aim to trouble the hosts with their aggressive style of play. For those unaware, India have not lost a home Test series since 2012, when England beaten them.

A big reason behind India’s dominance at home has been Ravichandran Ashwin, who is among the greatest spinners to play the game. Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja have formed one of the strongest spin duos, which has wreaked havoc for several teams across the years on Indian soil.

Ahead of the big series, England opener Ben Duckett made an honest admission and conceded that he would be dismissed by Ashwin in the series. However, the left-handed opener did state that he is more confident in his game this time around than the last time he faced Ashwin on Indian soil and backed his attacking approach.

I’ve played a lot of cricket since then and maturity is a big one for me in those years. “The biggest thing this time around is that whatever India throw at me, it’s not going to be a shock. I’ve played on those kinds of pitches. I know full well what to expect when I get out there.

“I wasn’t the last left-hander to struggle out there in those conditions against Ashwin. He’s so good everywhere.I’m sure he’s going to get me out again, he’s a world-class bowler. But I would back myself now on a good pitch or a flatter pitch to not feel like I have to play aggressive shots or sweep every ball,” said Ashwin on SKY Sports

“If those pitches are spinning, and with the way this team has played over the last 18 months, I know what my strengths are, and I’m certainly not going to die wondering,” Ashwin added.

Ashwin will look to create history against England and become the second Indian bowler to take 500 Test wickets. Ashwin currently has 490 dismissals in the longest format of the game.
